A New Grocery Chain Is Set To Open In Metro Atlanta
German discount grocery chain Lidl is scheduled to make it’s long-awaited debut in metro Atlanta.
Lidl (pronounced “lee-dle”), said Wednesday that it will open its first three stores in the Atlanta area over the course of four weeks, starting in Powder Springs (2641 Powder Springs Road SW) on Jan. 16. That is to be followed with an opening in Snellville (3821 Stone Mountain Highway) on Jan. 30 and Mableton (4844 Floyd Road SW) on Feb. 13.
Lidl is seen as a hybrid between Trader Joe’s and Harris Teeter and a competitor to Aldi. Lidl has products at cheaper prices than many traditional supermarkets, such as Kroger and Publix.
