Lidl will open its long-awaited Lower East Side food market on Aug. 1, the company has announced, bringing the German supermarket giant's global footprint of over 12,000 stores to 408 Grand St. at Clinton. 

The company signed a lease last summer for the 23,000 square-foot space — formerly a Rite Aid — on property owned by the affordable housing nonprofit Grand Street Guild. 

Here's what to expect on Day 1, as per the Lidl U.S. website: 
Are you ready for fresh, high-quality groceries at incredibly low prices? The moment you’ve been waiting for is almost here! 

We're excited to announce the grand opening for our newest New York location is Friday, Aug. 1. Score free samples, Lidl swag and more! Come early — the first 100 customers in line will get Lidl gift cards ranging from $5-$100. 
The grocery's initial hours are daily from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. 

There are several outposts of the discount grocery stores around NYC, including in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island ... with a location also slated for Chelsea.

    The Lidl in Astoria has the least expensive milk available anywhere I’ve seen in the city. A German company! Who knew!

    The 8 AM start time is very welcomed. Right now there's usually quite a few people waiting outside at like 8:55 AM for the Trader Joe's to open.
