There’s a new grocery store opening near The Summit in northeast Columbia. 

On Thursday at 8 a.m., Lidl will have its ribbon-cutting event. The day kicks off a weekend where customers will have the chance to take advantage of special offers, giveaways, and other prizes. 

In fact, the first 100 customers will get a special gift card ranging from $5 to $100 each. 

Customers can also get free samples of different Lidl products along with a complimentary Lidl reusable bag while supplies last. 

This is the third Lidl store to open in the Midlands. Other Lidl stores can be found in Lexington and Orangeburg.
