After announcing that German-owned Lidl was taking up space at the Mayfair Shopping Center in Commack back in 2021, the grocery store is finally getting ready for its grand opening on August 31.
Lidl leased 30,000 square feet in the former Stein Mart building, according to Levin Management, who is the exclusive leasing and managing agent for the 222,000-square-foot retail property on Jericho Turnpike.
“Lidl invested more than $7 million to transform the Commack location formerly occupied by Stein Mart, which closed in 2020 as part of the apparel retailer’s bankruptcy,” the management company rep[orted on its Facebook page recently.
The new store will employ more than 50 people, according to a company statement.
The first 100 customers in line before the 7:40am ribbon cutting on August 31 will receive gift cards ranging from $5 to $100 each. Shoppers can also enter to win a $500 Lidl gift card, sample Lidl’s award-winning assortment and take advantage of special giveaways.
