Lidl US, the American division of the German supermarket giant, is planning stores for Bensalem and Bristol Township, in addition to Warminster, where it is well into the application process for a store set to open in 2021.
The chain, which has stores in 32 countries around the world, began opening locations in the United States in 2017 and now has 130 stores in nine states. The Warminster store would be the first in Bucks County.
Kyle Smyth, Lidl s real estate representative in this region, said the company is the world s third largest retailer and has almost 11,000 stores in Europe. They re almost like a Wawa on every corner over in Europe, he told the Bristol Township Council this month as it approved a subdivision/land development plan for a Lidl store site.
