LACEY – Lacey Township will be receiving a new discount grocery store, although no opening date has been announced just yet.
The first in Ocean County, Lidl will be moving onto the property that once held A’s Home & Garden Center on Route 9. A’s building was torn down recently to make way for Lidl.
Although the project was approved by the township planning board, township officials noted that the progress of the construction will advance weather permitting.
Lidl’s arrival in Lacey comes on the heels of another new grocery store addition. The former Staples located in the Sunrise Plaza will soon become an Aldi grocery store.
While this will be Ocean County’s first Lidl, the chain has locations in Monmouth County including Eatontown and Hazlet.
