Belmont is soon to be home to a new Lidl, a German-based grocery chain that has been working on a significant expansion into the United States and is getting ready to open up a 4.3 million-dollar 32,000 square-foot store here.

With a new grocer in town, local discount supermarket favorite, Aldi, is really trying to step up its game so that it can compete with Lidl. The two Belmont area Aldi stores, located at 2108 Union Road in Gastonia and 6402 Wilkinson Boulevard in Belmont that have been open for over 10 years are getting a makeover. The company has invested $1.6 billion nationwide to remodel and expand their existing stores and these two locations are part of the mix. The Belmont location, which recently reopened, has had the biggest makeover in the area so far. The Gastonia location has renovations underway and is expected to reopen in mid-May.

Remodeling plans include open ceilings, a new modern design, plenty of natural light and environmentally friendly building materials. The company is also making changes to their food products, including removing added MSG, synthetic colors and partially hydrogenated oils from all of their store branded and private label products.

For more details and information on the Aldi makeovers as well as the new Lidl opening and what it means for Belmont as well as Gaston County, be sure to read the full article at gastongazette.com.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the 12-acre site on N.C. 49 that is bordered by Steele Creek Road and Hoover Creek Boulevard. While the details on this development site have yet to be confirmed, rezoning efforts and city planners are working towards establishing a gourmet grocery store here.

The new development aims to be a focal point for shoppers of both Steele Creek and Lake Wylie, and design plans intend to create a walkable environment featuring a variety of retail.

While the name of the new gourmet grocery store seems to be a bit of a secret, there has been confirmation that it will not be a Whole Foods market. The new grocery store would be part of a 90,000 square-foot development project that would include office as well as retail space. The site is located between RiverGate Shopping Center and Carolinas HealthCare System Steele Creek–a location that has seen some major activity in recent years.

The unnamed gourmet grocery store that will be built here is going to be central to the development project. For more details and information on the project, be sure to read the full article at heraldonline.com, and stay tuned for which grocery store will officially be moving in to Fort Mill.

Shipt partners with Harris Teeter for grocery delivery in Lake Wylie and Fort Mill

Grocery shopping is about to get a little easier and a lot more convenient.

Lake Wylie and Fort Mill are just two of the Charlotte towns who can benefit from Shipt, a grocery delivery service that is now delivering from 50 Harris Teeter stores throughout the Charlotte area.

Shift began its service throughout Charlotte originally only delivering from Publix stores last September. But the service has been widely popular and is expanding now to the Harris Teeter chain for delivery.

Charlotte region residents love Harris Teeter, and Shipt wanted to capitalize on that. Shipt provides service for an annual fee of $99 for orders of at least $35. As part of its launch with Harris Teeter, the company is offering $25 in free groceries to annual members who sign up prior to the launch of Shipt in their area.

Shipt offers both a desktop and mobile app that allows shoppers to peruse online the selection of groceries at their local Harris Teeter. Once shoppers select their groceries, they choose a delivery option and then check out. It is fast, simple and convenient. The service offers same-day grocery delivery, as soon as one hour after the order is placed, and delivery is free for members on orders over $35. There is a slight difference on Shipt’s item pricing versus standard in-store pricing.

In addition to providing a tremendous convenience, Shipt’s new partnership is creating jobs, as the company is currently hiring more shoppers to keep up with the increase in grocery stores and coverage areas. If you are interested in applying, visit the website at shipt.com. And, for more details and information on the Shipt and Harris Teeter partnership, read the full article at CharlotteObserver.com.
