Doubt it..... it took lidl many years to set up here, mainly a distribution center had to be built followed by building stores, so I can’t see it happening any time soon.

Cant see it Al,Cyprus is a small place and nothing is kept secret, it would take them a few years to source, land build a distribution center and build stores.

Slightly off subject, but what's happening with the new Alpha Mega store, just up from the Paphis Mall?

There were rumours going around in 2010 that Aldi were opening a store in Protaras ................ not seen anything materialise yet though but I guess 8 years is not that long a wait in "Cyprus time"!

They are selling products here, just not in their own Stores.

Not the Same, Rumours that Tesco would be opening their own stores on Island, over in the east we have supermarkets selling Waitrose produce, so does that mean we have Waitrose stores here?

Lidl have been in Greece for years, and, as far as I know, Aldi have not followed them. We are friendly with a Greek family in Rochdale, and they told us that Lidl is not popular amongst the Greeks and, even though families are struggling, they would rather shop at Greek owned shops.

You can get much better deals on fresh veg at the smaller greengrocers. The one between Letymbou and Kallepeia is great for spuds and onions.

Do you mean the one not far from the museum. It seems to have been closed for quite a while now.
