Supermarket Giant Lidl To Open Cherry Hill Store Feb. 19

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The grand opening of the new Lidl store in Cherry Hill is about two weeks away. The German-based supermarket will open at 400 Route 38 on Feb. 19, the supermarket announced on Tuesday.

The festivities begin with a ribbon-cutting at 7:40 a.m., kicking off weekend of special offers, prizes and giveaways for customers. Offers include:

• The first 100 customers will be presented with a special gift card ranging from $5 to $100 each.
• Shoppers can get free samples of an array of Lidl’s products and a complimentary Lidl reusable bag while supplies last.
• Games, activities, prizes, special deals and giveaways throughout grand opening weekend.

“As a native of the Philadelphia area, I look forward to bringing Lidl’s unique, high quality products at low prices close to home,” Lidl’s Cherry Hill Store Manager Darnell Mason said. “The local team and I cannot wait to get to know the local community over the coming months and years.”

The store, which will be open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday, will occupy 36,000 square feet and go on a piece of land that was previously vacant.

The chain, known for its rock bottom prices, already has more than 11,000 stores in 32 European countries. It is considered to be a cross between Walmart and Trader Joe's. It has six locations in New Jersey, but this is the first in Camden County, according to the supermarket's website.

Lidl first established its U.S. headquarters in Arlington County, Virginia, in June 2015, and now operates in more than 90 stores in nine states across the east coast. For more information, visit www.Lidl.com.
