Lidl’s entry into the Tri-State market requires adapting a European discount grocery format to sites across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut that vary widely in size, access, and existing conditions. SBLM is a key architectural partner in Lidl’s North American expansion, bringing expertise in site development and urban integration. With a focus on high-quality, cost-effective grocery retail, our team collaborates with Lidl’s store planners and real estate teams from initial test-fit and site studies through project completion.

Most locations are conversions or redevelopments of former retail spaces. SBLM’s work begins with determining how Lidl’s program fits within the limits of each property. Test-fits address delivery access and parking layouts and identify any potential project challenges within each existing building footprint. Where the site presents constraints, SBLM studies alternatives for loading, internal circulation, and structural alignment to maintain operational requirements.
