[quote="shahmaran"]I am sorry but LIDL is nothing but a cheap shit hole for cheapskate North Europeans who would eat cardboard to stay alive.

Surely Cypriots would have a lot more to look forward to than cheap tin/frozen cuisine! [/quote]

Will they appreciate good food ??? Not so sure about that.

[quote="shahmaran"][quote="miltiades"][quote="shahmaran"][quote="miltiades"][quote="shahmaran"][quote="miltiades"]Lidl offers great food at great prices , restricted lines yes but fantastic value nevertheless , their FRESH meats and fish are excellent some of the best I would say .Fresh chickens at knock down prices in comparisson to those if other stores , fresh smoked salmon that wad recently voted by grocer magazine as the finest in the Uk , beef and lamb at superb prices
I think I will apply for a few ....shares !!!![/quote]

Are you kidding me man?! Salmon from LIDL!?! "Fresh" meat?!?!

And you are in the catering business?

First of all LIDL is at the bottom of the supermarket food chain, ASDA has more quality and class yet that is just as scummy but at least edible.

Cheap and scummy food might be pretty popular in Europe, but this is the Mediterranean god dam it, no one is going to expect me to shop from LIDL![/quote]
More than ONE MILLION people shop daily at LIDL !!!!
Their Icelandic FRESH Smoked Salmon is superb and a bloody good value for money and so are most of their other products.
Another important aspect is their treatment of their staff , European way not as the way that Cypriot supermarkets treat their staff !![/quote]

30 Billion people eat Mc Donalds every day, does not make it good, but cheap, yes!

Cypriot markets treat their staff like shit probably because Cypriots treat everyone like shit!!

If I want good smoked salmon I would go to a million other place before I would walk into a LIDL!

Give it up man, LIDL is scum, anyone with a half taste for decent food would at least go to Tescos![/quote]
So according to your half baked views the 8000 plus stores across Europe are .....scum !!!! The people who run them must be bloody geniuses selling scum to Europeans. Are you a food connoisseur by any chance !!!![/quote]

My view would be "half baked" if places like Mc Donalds did not exist, but they do, a lot more than LIDL.

Stop trying to pull a relation between numbers and quality, it does not work that way.

What are you anyways, a LIDL representative?[/quote]

Pls post your pic as you will be the first one to shop in LIDL and I can take your place in the que waiting.

[quote="Trendy"][quote="Milo"]Its a busy supermarket in Greece, but here there is some worry for the pricing cartels, who have had things their own way a little to long.

The last paragraph is interesting.

[i]Daily Phileleftheros said yesterday that supermarkets are pressuring suppliers not to provide LiDL with local produce, and have already terminated their collaboration with certain suppliers who have struck up partnerships with the German discount chain.[/i]

Who cares what they sell? Its the competition we need. Consumers should rule, they don,t in Cyprus. Ikea is one of the most productive shops in Nicosia because of their products and more importantly their prices.

All hail to Lidl

You get rubbish you pay rubbish!

but in cyprus you pay high and get rubbish, pay lower and get even worse.

That is the wonders of the EU.

Over on this side we still pay rubbish for rubbish and good money for good stuff

the north products are worse then south i have seen it....

[miltiades]

Go Lidl , go show them inconsiderate money grabbing Cypriot???
Supermarkets how it's done. , they have been ripping off the public for years now
it's time they were brought to task !!!!

[Milo]

Ikea is nice store and has ok things considering the price but the quality is not high. I hope that when they talk about lower prices at LiDL they mean lower prices on known brands and not just LiDL home brands.

Lidl don,t do known brands, they do German brands approx 1200 standard products in each store topped up with special offers weekly and local produce, it seems to work in 9000 other shops. Their regular adverts on the tv always show brands unknown to most, but they sell them by the warehouse load throughout Europe.

The local produce will be marked marginally down compared to other supermarkets, fact.

.

ok ... so you mean they don't sell things like say Kellogg or Alpen cereals? Just LiDL cereals?

I,ve never seen Kelloggs there, but mostly less well known brands, for instance you will see Carlsberg beer no doubt it was a German beer, various wines that you may recognise, they do lots of unknown coffee makes but some of their shops do sell nescafe as well but not all, I suppose it depends on where they are. As Cyprus will be affiliated with Lidl Greece I would imagine it will be similar so you may recognise Greek brands as Lidl Greece will supply Lidl Cyprus.

[Get Real!]

All this LIDL this and LIDL that… is getting VERY suspicious!

I have never seen grownups behave so stupid before over a supermarket for crying out loud!

Do we by any chance have any LIDL employees and/or shareholders among us trying to promote the new venture?

If not then fucking GROW UP and post something interesting!

PS: Unkie GR says fuck LIDL and fuck you!

[paliometoxo]

yes frack them. orfanides is just fine.

[kurupetos]

Just open two, in Peyia and Pissouri, and leave us alone.

I did not see any difference, just like on your side, most of the stuff is imported. Except we are not too big on the production side, being isolated and all, you know. But what is your excuse?
