Lidl will open a 23,000 square foot store during early 2026 in Manhattan following the advent of a store in Harlem during 2020.

Or Raitses, Senior Director of Real Estate for the Lidl Northern Region stated, "We are excited to introduce Lidl fresh groceries, and convenience to the

Chelsea Community".  He added, "We look forward to continuing our expansion in New York City and opening even more stores in the future".

The new store will be located on the street level of a 188-unit residential building developed under the Affordable NY Program. A third of the units will be reserved for low- and middle- income residents of the city.

Lidl now operates 170 stores on the East Coast with 25 in New York State.
