Lidl’s New York expansion continues to gain momentum. As recently reported by Progressive Grocer, the grocer is adding new locations in Tappan and Staten Island, further expanding a New York portfolio that now represents its largest concentration of stores in any U.S. state. For Schuckman Realty, that growth is a story we know particularly well.
Nearly 20 Lidl Deals Across New York
Kenneth Schuckman, Jessica Vilmenay and the Schuckman Realty team have worked extensively with Lidl throughout its New York expansion, completing approximately 20 Lidl real estate transactions across the state — representing nearly half of Lidl’s current New York store count.
Those transactions reflect years of work identifying locations, evaluating markets and helping bring Lidl stores into communities throughout the region.
Lidl’s expansion also demonstrates the continued strength of grocery-anchored retail in New York. Successful grocery locations require the right combination of population density, access, visibility, parking, demographics and convenient positioning within the surrounding trade area.
Finding opportunities that meet those requirements — particularly in high-barrier-to-entry New York markets — takes deep local market knowledge.
That is where Schuckman Realty’s retail platform has played an important role.
Lidl Continues to Invest in New York
According to Progressive Grocer, the addition of Tappan and Staten Island brings Lidl’s New York presence to 41 stores, more than in any other state. The retailer also opened a new Williamsburg, Brooklyn location in August as it continues building its presence throughout the New York metropolitan area.
- Williamsburg, Brooklyn Opened August 2026
- Tappan Opened September 16, 2026
- Staten Island Opening September 30, 2026
Lidl US now operates more than 200 stores across nine East Coast states and Washington, D.C., while its parent organization, Schwarz Group, operates approximately 12,900 stores internationally.
