The supermarket’s list of upcoming locations in New York City continues to get longer and longer as the discount grocer continues to expand.
The discount grocer plans to open a new supermarket in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighbourhood. Commercial real estate mortgage broker Eastern Union has secured a $62.25M construction loan for a 105,000sq ft mixed-used property at 1730 Bedford Avenue that will be home to a 33,000sq ft Lidl store.
Lidl operates more than 170 stores on the East Coast, with 27 in New York State. In New York City, the company currently operates stores in Staten Island, Harlem, and Astoria, with plans to open a 23,000sq ft store on the ground floor of a mixed-income apartment building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighbourhood.
“We are thrilled to be bringing Lidl’s high-quality groceries, low prices and convenient shopping experience to the Crown Heights community,” said Or Raitses, Senior Director of Real Estate for Lidl’s Northern Region. “We look forward to continuing our expansion in New York City and opening even more stores in the future, bringing our unique value proposition to additional areas of the city where New Yorkers for far too long have had to put up with high grocery prices.”
