The grocery store price wars are about to get a lot more interesting!
Lidl, the German discount grocery store chain, is opening its first 10 locations in the United States on June 15 — and the retailer is likely to disrupt the entire industry.
By next summer, Lidl hopes to have up to 100 locations open along the East Coast.

Money expert Clark Howard is already familiar with Lidl. The company has 10,000 stores in 27 countries throughout Europe. It’s known for selling high quality goods at low prices.
Like Aldi, many of Lidl’s most popular products are from its own private label.
“It’s the perfect combination of low prices and a very pleasing environment,” Clark said. “It’s a bit of Aldi, a bit of Trader Joe’s and a bit of Whole Foods all mixed together in one.”
Ahead of opening its first 10 U.S. locations, Lidl has released a 32-page weekly ad. In addition to grand opening specials on food items, there are deals on plenty of non-grocery items.
