Description of the facility

The Lidl premises on Slovenčeva Street are partially accessible. The bus stop is located in the immediate vicinity and is accessible via the sidewalk. The accessible path has appropriately leveled paving and recessed curbs, but it lacks tactile markings or other guides for easier orientation for blind and visually impaired, as well as deaf and hard-of-hearing persons.
Adapted parking spaces are available in the parking lot close to the entrance.
The entrance doors are automatic and glass, and are harder to notice because they are only marked with the company logo stickers and lack contrast strips.
The store is entirely located on the ground floor. Lighting is adequate. Inside, there is sufficient maneuvering space between shelves and at the checkouts.
Some shelves are placed too high. Due to the difficulty of opening them, some refrigeration units are harder to access. The store provides shopping carts adapted for wheelchair users.
Signs and labels in the store are appropriately contrasted and large. Product prices are readable, but product descriptions are too small.
Fruit and other products are weighed at the checkout. Checkout counters are of appropriate height. This branch does not have self-service checkouts.
The premises are not equipped with hearing loops. There are no adapted sanitary facilities.
