Achtung! Lidl's new downtown Bethesda store at 7625 Old Georgetown Road at Bethesda Place has finally been added to the German grocery chain's Grand Openings page. The grand opening is now scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at 8:00 AM. What's in it for you? "Score free samples, Lidl swag and more," the company promises. "Come early—the first 100 customers in line will get Lidl gift cards ranging from $5-$100."
Depending on how fast shipping from the UK to America is, you could be wearing an official Lidl by Lidl jacket when standing in line that morning. A cross-promotion with the Oasis reunion tour, the coat will be available for 30 pounds at 10:00 AM British Standard Time on July 9. The jacket features "drink-cooling pockets, a bottle opener for a zipper, a ‘Lidl By Lidl’ badge and an accompanying tambourine." Croissants sold separately.

Bethesda Magazine asked why the opening was delayed by over a year and a LIDL spokesperson said”because we wanted to give our Bethesda shoppers a better quality experience.” What nothing answer. Still convinced they’re hiding something.
Glad they are finally opening but we’ll see if an Upper-Middle Class Suburb like Bethesda supports a Lower to Middle Class German Grocery Store…………
I’m Skeptical……….
Two rumors on why they are late in completing the store went around.
One rumor on this Delayed Opening was that they were having a hard time finding workers who were willing to apply for jobs to work in the store. The good news is that now that we know they are really opening, hopefully that rumor will be permanently put to rest………..
The other rumor I heard recently was that they didn’t have enough money in their budget to complete the construction until recently.
Good fun on the jacket add. :)
4:09 So you’ve convinced yourself of something that you won’t share. Maybe you can get a tin foil hat at Lidl.
Looks like a cousin to Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis haha :-)
Have the Germans already secured an armed guard so the new inventory doesn't get depleted during the first week?
