Lidl, the German grocery chain, is coming to Great Neck. The company has leased a 12,700-square-foot space at the former Best Buy location on Middle Neck Road, and is expected to open in early 2019.
Lidl is known for its low prices and wide selection of both food and non-food items.
This will be Lidl’s first store on Long Island, and the company is said to be looking at other locations in Nassau and Suffolk counties. Lidl US currently has about 70 stores in nine states on the East Coast.
The move into Long Island is part of Lidl’s aggressive expansion plans in the United States. The company opened its first US store in June of 2017, and has since then been rapidly expanding.
Lidl is planning to have 100 stores open by mid-2018, and hopes to eventually have over 500 stores across the country.
Lidl’s arrival is good news for shoppers in Great Neck, who will now have another option for low-priced groceries. The company’s expansion into Long Island is also a sign of the continued growth of the German grocery chain in the United States.
