Lidl widens self-scanning trials in UK stores

Lidl GB has expanded its Lidl & Go self-scanning trial to stores in Scotland and southern England, building on a seven-outlet pilot launched in May. The tool, integrated into Lidl Plus, lets shoppers scan items, track spending and savings in real time, then complete purchases at self-checkout. Chief customer officer Louise Weise said the trial supports smarter, faster and more flexible shopping as Lidl invests in digital infrastructure. (RTIH)
