REISTERSTOWN, Md. — Lidl supermarket announced it will open its latest store in Reisterstown on Aug. 31.
The supermarket will be in the Reisterstown Shopping Center, near Franklin Boulevard.
This will be Lidl's ninth supermarket in the greater Baltimore area. Lidl just opened its first store in Baltimore City, in the Northwood Commons shopping center near Morgan State University, a couple of weeks ago.
The Reisterstown store will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and will create more than 45 jobs. Starting pay is $15.50 per hour, said the company.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 7:40 a.m. on Aug. 31. The first 100 customers in line before the ribbon-cutting will get a gift card ranging from $5 to $100. Shoppers can also enter to win a $500 Lidl gift card, sample items, and take advantage of special giveaways. The supermarket will donate $1 to Maryland Food Bank for every new member who gets the Lidl app and sets "Lidl Reisterstown" as their home store.
Baltimore County Councilman Izzy Patoka, who represents the area, said in a statement:
"I am really pleased that together, working with the community and Greenberg Gibbons that we were able to attract a quality grocer like Lidl Food Market to the Reisterstown Shopping Center. I know that the residents of Owings Mills and Reisterstown are eager and excited about having a new shopping venue that provides fresh fruit, groceries and more to the area."
