LIDL
Opened: March 18, 2026
Time for another new New York City LIDL! This store opened back in March, but I haven't been able to get to the area until more recently. It's really large for a New York City supermarket, at around 33,000 square feet, and it's on the second floor of a new-build development here in Crown Heights.
Once we enter, the layout (and the store in general) is really straightforward and, frankly, not exciting. Produce and bakery are in the front-right corner, with cold cuts in the rest of the first aisle and meat/seafood on the back wall. Dairy and frozen are on the left side here.
Except for the slightly jagged layout and the big columns, you'd forget you're not in the suburbs once you get inside this store.
LIDL has a handful of other stores in progress in and around New York City, but ALDI has made a splash with the opening of a store just blocks from Times Square in a very high-profile location. I haven't been able to get there yet, but stay tuned.
The Midl of Lidl here is just in the aisles rather than its own separate department here, possibly because of the shape of the space (it's kind of wide and shallow, so there's not room to do the usual divided aisle thing they do). It also doesn't seem to be getting the Midl of Lidl signage here, either.
One nice feature is the large windows looking out over Empire Boulevard in the last aisle. Any other NYC operator would cover them up to get more shelf space!

And that's all for this LIDL. Not a whole lot to talk about because it's pretty straightforward, but not bad. Here's this weekend's other posts!
