QUEENS COUNTY, NY - Lidl signage, with its bright primary colors, is sure hard to miss. Shoppers in the New York area will have another bright sign on their horizon, as the latest Lidl is set to open at the end of July in Fresh Meadows, Queens. Local leaders will be at a ribbon cutting ceremony welcoming Lidl to the area, taking place at 7:30 a.m. before the store opens.
