Lidl has opened a grocery store at 335 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, on the ground floor of the Mabel building. The store held its grand opening on Wednesday, Oct. 7, with a 7:40 a.m. ribbon cutting, and is open daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

What is in the store

The store covers more than 12,100 square feet and carries fresh produce, meat and pantry staples. It has an in-store bakery, where a butter croissant costs 49 cents, and a weekly rotating aisle of non-food items. Shoppers who use the Lidl Plus app collect points and digital coupons.
