Lidl GB is marking the milestone of its 1000th UK store opening with 1000 Lidl Gingerbread Store kits for fans to build at home this Christmas.

Modelled on the brand-new East Grinstead store in Sussex, the B-IY (build it yourself) gingerbread kits come with everything you ‘knead’ from, ‘dough-licious’ handmade gingerbread panels and smooth icing to candy cane bollards, edible Lidl billboards, and adorable chocolate decorations.  

The retailer is sprinkling more than just icing sugar on top. Gift-wrapped inside ten kits are £100 Lidl Plus vouchers, giving a few lucky winners the chance to save on their big Christmas shop.

“Reaching our 1000th UK store is a huge milestone for Lidl, and we want to celebrate in a way that everyone across the country can enjoy,” said Joanna Gomer, Marketing Director at Lidl GB.

“Our Gingerbread houses have been a customer favourite, so we mixed things up a bit by creating a special kit that not only showcases our new East Grinstead store, but also captures the fun and festive spirit of the season.”

Alongside the miniature kits available for shoppers, a larger gingerbread replica of the building has also been constructed to commemorate the 1000th store’s opening. The model will be showcased in the East Grinstead store throughout the festive season, allowing shoppers to marvel at every deliciously intricate detail up-close.
