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.

“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.”

Other Lidl locations in New York are in Elmhurst, Astoria, New Hyde Park, among others, as the company continues to expand its reach in the region.

The new store will have plenty to offer customers, including:

• Over 100 fresh fruit and vegetable options
• Hundreds of organic and gluten free products
• Specialty items ranging from hard-to-find cheeses to authentic specialty sauces, and cured meats
• Organic and grass-fed meat options

According to a release, Lidl will be making donations to City Harvest and the Food Bank for New York City, which provides aid to families in the area, including Queens County. 

The new location is set to create about 40 new jobs. Lidl, already a 2024 Top Employer, provides healthcare benefits to both part-time and full-time employees. You can read further about its impact, opening ceremony, and more here.
