HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A popular German discount grocery store is inching closer to its official opening at a Dauphin County shopping center.

A new Lidle discount grocery store will soon be opening its doors in Harrisburg at the Paxton Towne Center, located at 5125 Jonestown Road. The new store is going to be situated inside the former home of HH Gregg and will be next door to Target.

According to a representative of Lidl, the new grocery store location will be 32,000 square feet and is expected to create about 25 jobs once it opens.

Signage near the outside of the store indicates that the company is now hiring; store associates will start at $17 an hour plus benefits and store supervisors will start at $21.50 an hour plus benefits.

  • York County (980 South Richland Ave.)

  • Lancaster County (2001 Columbia Ave.)

The spokesperson with Lidl says that they “are getting close to opening but we do not yet have a date that we can share.”

According to Lidl’s website, they were founded in Ludwigshafen, Germany in 1973. Today, Lidl operates in 32 countries and employs more than 341,000 people around the globe.
