Residents in Woodbridge may soon have a new grocery option. Signs for Lidl, a popular discount grocer, have appeared in the Smoketown Stations shopping center on Prince William Parkway. The signs are placed at the former site of 2nd and Charles, a bookstore that closed its doors earlier this year.

In an email, Lidl representative Bridget Johnson stated, “We announce store openings a month in advance. If there are future updates regarding Lidl US stores in the Woodbridge area, we will reach out.”
