Lidl to Open New Virginia Store

Lidl is coming to the Northern Virginia community of Lorton with a new store opening scheduled for July 26.

The store at 9001 White Spruce Way is part of Liberty, a mixed-use community that is transforming the historic Lorton Reformatory into an urban village. The store will be open to shoppers from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday. The store will have 45 employees.

At the grand opening event on July 26, 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 award-winning assortment and take advantage of special giveaways. Throughout the entire grand opening weekend, Lidl will donate $1 to the food bank for every new myLidl member who signs up and sets the new store as their home store.

“I am excited to welcome Lidl to Liberty! Not only does it bring a diversity of grocery shopping options to Lorton, but it provides a walkable, bikeable location to many, many residents in the immediate vicinity of the store,” said Mount Vernon District Supervisor Dan Storck. “As an anchor for the rest of the commercial development at Liberty, we are already seeing exciting new options coming and anticipate welcoming Taco Rock and others to the site this fall.”
