"Each bench weighs approximately two and a half tonnes. The work was commissioned by Lidl GB Ltd, prepared from digital originals, by Hardscape Ltd and installed with the local stonemason, Bruce Kirby of Acanthus Ltd.
Lidl were great to work with and if you are thinking of encouraging new artworks in the bay area."
Torbay mayor Barbara Lewis opened the store and said: "It’s a real pleasure to officially open this brand new Lidl store in Kings Ash. This is great news for Paignton — not just because we all love a good bargain, but because this store brings new jobs, more choice for local families, and a real boost to the community.
"Lidl has become famous for its great value, fresh produce, and of course, the mystery and magic of the middle aisle — where you never know whether you’ll walk out with dinner, a lawnmower, or a paddleboard.
"On behalf of Torbay Council, I want to thank Lidl for investing in our area and supporting local growth. And to all the staff here — thank you for your hard work getting everything ready."
