Work on two new Lidl concept stores in Newark and Mablethorpe is now complete.
Britcon has delivered the projects as part of Lidl's £1.5 billion expansion programme across the UK.
In Newark, the former Esso petrol station and Co-operative Food site on London Road, Balderton has been redeveloped into a new 2,443 sq m 'Lidl of the Future' (LOF) store with 130 new car parking spaces.
In Mablethorpe, Britcon demolished an existing Lidl on Stanley Avenue to build a larger 2,701 sq m LOF store and 100 car parking spaces.
Each new store features a modern, glass fronted design, maximising natural light exposure with the latest energy efficiency technologies to minimise environmental impact.
Internally, the stores are more spacious, with enhanced shopping and welfare facilities as well as advanced warehouse processes.
Overall, the schemes bring the number of Lidl contracts for Britcon to 13 in two years, with works including new stores, extensions and refurbishments.
Britcon Managing Director Paul Clarkson said, "It is rewarding to see that our partnership approach with Lidl has proved repeatedly successful. We understand retail & commercial construction well and bring added value with a one stop solution.
"To be able to manage the entire process of demolition, site preparation and new build plus ancillaries' gives peace of mind to the retail and commercial estates teams which are developing or pursuing busy expansion programmes."
