Lidl Plans First Stores In Ohio, Including Broadview Heights Location

BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, Ohio – A German grocery-store chain – which operates more than 10,000 stores in 27 countries and is now rapidly expanding in the United States – wants to open stores in Broadview Heights and throughout Ohio.

Lidl, which opened its first U.S. stores this summer in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, would build a 36,000-square-foot store on the west side of Broadview Road, just south of Sprague Road. The estimated cost is $6.8 million.

"I think the city of Broadview Heights is going to love this project," Councilman Glenn Goodwin said Monday night. City Council referred the plan to the city's Board of Zoning Appeals.
