Another 27,0000-square-foot location of Lidl is slated to open soon on the ground floor of 597 Grand Street in Williamsburg. The new store will occupy a mixed-use retail and residential building between Leonard and Lorimer Streets, which was also the former site of a Key Foods.
Another German discount supermarket, Aldi is opening a new location on Fulton Street near Flatbush Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn! Aldi is a budget-friendly, no-frills supermarket known for its curated selection of private-label and select national-brand products, including fresh produce, dairy, meats, pantry staples, frozen foods, and household essentials. Prices are lower than traditional grocery stores; products are often stocked in shipping boxes, and shoppers bag their own groceries.
Whole Foods is opening a 10,700-square-foot “daily shop” at 774 Grand Street in Williamsburg, part of its smaller-format, grab-and-go concept that launched last year in Manhattan, with outposts on the Upper East Side, StuyTown, and Hell’s Kitchen. Located on the ground floor of a mixed-use building, it will join the larger Whole Foods on Bedford Avenue and North 4th Street. The bodega-style shop will feature local Northeast products alongside fresh produce, sushi, rotisserie chicken, take-and-bake pizzas, seasonal salads, and 365 brand staples, plus artisanal cheeses and baked goods from Junior’s and Balthazar. It’s expected to open this fall.
