HYATTSVILLE WIRE: Lidl is already hiring for its new location in an unincorporated part of Prince George’s County as the buildout is moving quickly.
Over the summer, the rapidly expanding German discount grocery chain signed a lease for a new location at 3104 Queens Chapel Rd. in the Avondale community of Chillum, on the border of Hyattsville and Mount Rainier.
The exterior of the store, previously a Price Rite and a Giant that was famously visited by Queen Elizabeth II, has already changed dramatically to match Lidl’s distinctive architecture, and Lidl is already hiring store associate positions.
The 40,000-square-foot store takes up about half of the strip mall, which is also home to Mid Atlantic Seafood.
The new store replaces an underperforming location in Oxon Hill that closed earlier this year.
A popular location in College Park opened in 2019 and there are now several other Lidl locations around D.C. including in Columbia Heights, Takoma Park and Wheaton.
