NORFOLK — A new development is bringing another grocery store option to Lamberts Point and the area near Old Dominion University.
Discount grocer Lidl is coming to the Railyard at Lambert’s Point, a developer said Tuesday. Rich Meredith with Meredith Construction said his company signed a deal with the Germany-based grocer last week.
However, an opening date is probably more than a year away, he said. Developers need to demolish a building at the corner of 24th Street and Hampton Boulevard, then prepare the site for Lidl. Making the site ready for construction could take a few months.
Then, depending on several factors, it would take up to another year for the grocer to complete construction, he said. Meredith estimated an opening date in at least late 2024 or early 2025.
The grocery store is part of a long-planned mixed-use development on the western side of Hampton Boulevard near 25th Street. One store, Nothing Bundt Cakes, is already open, and other confirmed tenants include a Sushi King, Jimmy John’s, a Domoishi ramen restaurant, a Pilates studio and others, according to the development website.
