Lidl is expanding its Lidl & Go self-scanning trial to 37 more stores across the UK, aiming to speed up the checkout process for shoppers. The tool, which allows customers to scan products as they shop using the Lidl Plus app, has already been successfully tested at seven stores: Airdrie, Cardiff, Epsom, Glenrothes, Kingston, Guildford, and Eastleigh.
How Lidl & Go Works
Shoppers use the Lidl Plus app to scan items while browsing, then complete their purchase at a checkout where all items are already recorded, making payment quicker. The trial is being rolled out in phases throughout July, covering locations in Scotland, the South East, and the South of England.
Customer Feedback
Louise Weise, Chief Customer Officer at Lidl GB, said: “The early response from the initial phase of Lidl & Go has been really encouraging. Customers are telling us they value the control and visibility it gives them over their spend, and the flexibility to shop at their own pace. This next wave of stores brings the feature to many more customers, and we’ll continue to take on board feedback to evolve the offering as we go.”
