Those overseeing the project told News 3 that demolition of the existing building will start this week. When “the pad” is ready, construction of the Lidl store will take about a year.

Lidl is a German-based grocer that competes with Aldi — another German discount grocer with a store about a mile away from the Railyard on 21st Street — as a low-priced option for food and fresh produce.

This will provide another grocery option for those on the west side of Hampton Blvd. as the new development takes shape.

Thus far, a Nothing Bundt Cakes has opened at the development site.

The complex's future tenants include a drive-thru Jimmy John's, an ABC store, Sushi King, a pilates studio, a cycling studio, a nail salon and more.

More details on an opening date to come.
