LIDL (future)
Opening: 2023We return to the in-progress LIDL in Livingston, New Jersey as it prepares to open! We first checked out the property last summer with some photos from a contributor. (Apologies, I had mistakenly listed those photos as coming from December 2019. They were taken at some point in spring 2022, although I'm not quite sure when. I've fixed it on the post.)
This 42,000 square foot former Toys R Us is not all going to LIDL, but most of the space is. They're currently looking for a second tenant to take the rest.
If you read the comments on the first LIDL post, you'll see that one anonymous commenter reported that the store was canceled back in October 2022. It was not. At least it doesn't appear to have been, given that the store looks just about ready to open. I don't see any way that the store would've been canceled and then fully built out, since much of this construction happened after that comment was posted.
And it looks like the store is almost ready to open.
If we take a look inside, we can see the standard LIDL layout and fixtures going in. It looks like the produce department here might be going in front of the bakery department, possibly because of the constraints of the building size and shape.
But this looks like a store that's almost ready to open. Just needs some products, some carts, and some aisle markers! (Okay, I get that it's not that simple, but this is very close to opening.)

When are you opening?
ReplyDeleteDo you have an opening date
ReplyDeleteThe Lidl store on Route 10 in Livingston has looked completed for some time. Have they hit a snag/delay?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. LIDL has not announced a specific date for the store, so I don't have any further information.
DeleteWhen the store opening 2024
ReplyDeleteAny updates on the Lidl in Morris Township? Other stores like Burlington and Taco Bell have apparently already opened.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, LIDL is not particularly forthcoming with opening information, so I don't have any idea, unfortunately. We'll just have to wait and see.
DeleteThey're advertising jobs at Livingston and workers are now on-site. Opening should be soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, it's about time! I see the job advertisements you're referring to online. As soon as they open, I'll be there to check it out!
