Lidl is a German-owned discount grocery store chain with more than 10,000 stores in 27 European countries. It has been expanding rapidly in recent years, and now has over 70 stores in the United States.
Lidl’s US operations are headquartered in Virginia.
Lidl’s expansion into the United States began in 2017, when it acquired Best Market, a regional grocery chain with 26 stores on the East Coast. Lidl then opened its first US store in 2018. Since then, it has opened dozens of new stores each year, and now has over 70 stores across the country.
Lidl’s US stores are typically much larger than its European stores, averaging around 36,000 square feet. They offer a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meat, seafood, baked goods, and household items. Lidl’s prices are typically 10-20% lower than its competitors.
Lidl plans to continue its expansion into the United States in the coming years. It intends to open 100 new stores per year over the next three years, for a total of around 300 stores by 2022. This would make Lidl one of the largest grocery chains in the country.
There are currently over 70 Lidl stores in the United States. This number is expected to grow to around 300 by 2022 as Lidl continues its rapid expansion across the country.
