Lidl Expanding Its New York Presence
Lidl is expanding its presence in New York City with the opening of its newest store in the borough of Queens on July 31.
Located at 187-04 Horace Harding Expy, in Fresh Meadows a ribbon cutting is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. that will be followed by a grand opening celebration featuring special offers for shoppers. The store will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The new location is part of Lidl’s growing store network in the Southeastern New York area. Other nearby Lidl locations include locations in Elmhurst, Astoria, and New Hyde Park.
“At Lidl, we are committed to bringing fresh, high-quality food to communities at affordable prices,” said Or Raitses, Lidl’s senior director of Real Estate for the North Region. “By opening our doors in Fresh Meadows, we are thrilled to continue Lidl’s expansion in New York City and look forward to bringing exciting new products to the customers in the area.”
At the grand opening event, the first 100 customers in line before the store opens at 8 a.m. will receive a special gift card ranging from $5 to $100 each. Shoppers can also sample Lidl’s product assortment and take advantage of special giveaways.
Lidl will also be making equal donations to City Harvest and the Food Bank for New York City, both of which aid families in the area, including Queens County. Lidl will donate $1 for each shopper who signs up for the myLidl app and sets Fresh Meadows as their store throughout the opening weekend.
