Lidl has been providing high-quality groceries at low prices since 1973. The company successfully operates about 11,200 stores across 32 countries and opened its first stores in the U.S. in 2017. Lidl offers a wide variety of products, including local produce, fresh meats and seafood, imported cheeses, European pastries, and weekly surprises, all at unbelievably low prices. Customers appreciate the store's cleanliness, organization, and helpful staff. While some find the self-checkout process a bit rushed, they are overall very satisfied with the store's selection, quality, and prices. The bakery section, in particular, receives high praise, with customers finding authentic Parisian breads, macarons, and even fresh-cut flowers.
