About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Lidl’s loading dock with an unusual request. He asked the night manager if he could use the bathroom—only it wasn’t just any bathroom. The night manager, curious but helpful, showed him the staff bathroom. The driver stepped inside and emerged moments later, smiling sheepishly. 'That was some powerful coffee,' he explained, handing the manager a bag of beans from Lidl. 'Tastes better than anything I’ve had before!'

2. One morning, while stocking shelves at Lidl, Maria found something peculiar in the dairy aisle—a jar labeled ‘Mystery Cheese,’ its price tag reading $999.99. She shrugged it off as a prank until customers started asking for it by name. Word spread quickly around the store, and soon everyone was curious. Even the delivery driver joked that it must be some new gourmet cheese from Switzerland. Finally, after weeks of mystery, the manager revealed it was just a practical joke—an old wheel of Camembert with a price tag glued on backwards. The whole place erupted in laughter, and Maria became the heroine of the day.

3. At closing time, the store manager locked up Lidl and switched off the lights. But as he walked towards his car, he heard over the abandoned speakers: ‘Thank you for shopping at Lidl today!’ The manager froze for a moment, then chuckled and waved goodnight. The next day, everyone in town started joking that Lidl’s ghost was saying goodbye to customers. Even the delivery driver teased him: ‘See ya later, ghost!’ And from then on, whenever anyone left Lidl, they’d hear, ‘Thank you for shopping at Lidl—again!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Lidl's loading dock with an unusual cargo: a mysterious box labeled only ‘For Employees Only.’ The driver carefully opened it and found inside a crate of free samples—chocolates, candies, and freshly baked cookies. Word spread quickly among employees, who started calling it their secret midnight snack spot. To this day, some say that if you work late enough at Lidl, you might just catch a friendly neighbor slipping out with a bag full of goodies.
