German grocery store operator Lidl continues its slow expansion in the U.S. As of November 10, the company operates about 200 stores across nine states and Washington, D.C., with current growth focused on strengthening its East Coast footprint rather than launching a nationwide rollout. Lidl established its U.S. headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, in 2015 and opened its first American stores in Virginia and the Carolinas in June 2017. It initially targeted 100 stores by summer 2018 but reached only about half that number. Its acquisition of 27 Best Market stores in New York and New Jersey, announced in 2018, provided a platform for expansion around New York City and Long Island. More recently, Lidl has prioritized New York City, Washington, D.C.
