Liddle or Leedle?

Now we have one in Putney, can someone tell me how to pronounce it?  I have always assumed it was Leedle, but I see their website refers to the infamous aisle of shizzle as the 'middle of Lidl'. This suggests that the correct pronunciation is in fact 'Liddle'. 
Does anyone know the correct way to say it?

It's one of the smallest in the UK at just 6000 sq feet.  The new Richmond one is double that...https://www.thegrocer.co.uk/lidl/lidl-opening-three-london-stores-in-one-day-as-part-of-500m-expansion-push/653556.article

The new Putney one feels a bit cramped compared with the one on Plough Lane I use. Plough Lane has ample parking and more aisle space. I think the shop is bigger overall. If you have a car it may be a better option

Had my first visit to Lidl this morning - well laid out - good selection of goods. I even used my Lidl Plus app to get additional discounts on cheese, fine chocolates and cleaning goods.This should give a boost to attracting new businesses to PHS provided the landlords stop being so greedy. With the new Bone Daddies Ramen restaurant now open also things are looking up on PHS. ( Perhaps Sainsburys will now do something to smarten up their Soviet-style surroundings and entrance now).

Wow. If only people spent so long researching Brexit as thoroughly before voting on it.

Yes, my German friends say Leedle but in their tv ads Lidl themselves make wordplay with Lidl/little. So take your pick.

It’s a German company so the i is long = Leedle. But most Brits say Liddle. I don’t think they’ll mind to much as long as you shop there!
