A leading supermarket chain has confirmed the closure of its new Shinfield store is purely a temporary measure.
The Lidl supermarket in Beke Avenue opened its doors on December 5.
A sign appeared on New Year’s Eve stating the store has been forced to close temporarily.
In a statement to Wokingham Today, a spokesperson for Lidl said: “whilst we were pleased to have the Shinfield store opened and ready for customers ahead of the busy festive period, it has now been closed temporarily as we make additional updates to the flooring.
“The changes being undertaken are standard internal works, and there are no safety concerns.
“We look forward to reopening our doors to customers in due course.”
The spokesperson added that whilst firm timelines are yet to be determined, it anticipates the store will be open again for trading by the end of March.
Lidl has other stores locally in Whitley Wood, Woodley and Wokingham.
