Overall, I had a decent experience at this Lidl...considering the circumstances…read more I visited this Lidl a few hours before the big snow storm of Jan 2026 was expected to hit. Having seen pictures of other local grocery stores with bare shelves, I was not expecting much from the Lidl. To be frank, I visited to pick up some dishwasher pods and some winter storm snacks. To my shock, I was quite surprised to see that the grocery store still had plenty of staples (e.g., milk, eggs, veggies, bottled water, beef, etc.). I thought the store was pretty easy to navigate, and I did not have much difficulty finding what I need. Although the general layout of the store was "easy", I thought the shelves were a bit disorganized. However, I think the disorganization might have been due to folks picking over products prior to the storm. So, I can cut the store some slack in that aspect. Regarding pricing, I thought the prices (especially for the generic products) were significantly lower that other grocery stores in the area. Even the reusable bags were cheap. Normally the big reusable bags are like a couple of bucks at other popular stores in the area; however, they were 89 cents at this location. Although the grocery store shares a parking lot with a gym, I thought there was plenty of free parking. Since this grocery store is super close to another business that I frequent in the area, I have a feeling that Lidl might become my go-to grocery store.

I had one of the most disturbing and upsetting shopping experiences of my life at this Lidl…read morelocation. It was around 8:45 PM and the checkout line was long. I politely asked a female employee if another register could be opened. She ignored me completely and walked away. Two other employees were kind enough to call a manager, and shortly after another register was opened. Unfortunately, the same woman who ignored me was the one assigned to check me out. She looked visibly angry and irritated. During the interaction, she suddenly became verbally abusive and called me a "bitch," then escalated to calling me a "white bitch" and told me to "get the f*** out of her store." This was said loudly and aggressively in front of other customers. I was shocked, humiliated, and genuinely felt unsafe. No customer should ever be spoken to this way -- especially by a retail employee. The manager, Augustina, did take the situation seriously and even asked another customer if they heard the name-calling, which they confirmed. While I appreciate the manager stepping in, the emotional damage was already done. I left shaken and will not be returning to this store. There are cameras at the registers and this incident should absolutely be reviewed by Lidl corporate. This behavior is unacceptable and should not happen to any customer.

A variety of items in this H mart, I just wish the location was a little bigger because it's hard to really get through the isles due to the high volume of people shopping.

You can't find the cuts they have most places. And then of course all the snacks.

I normally don't shop at Safeway because the stores always seem rather dark and the aisles narrow,…read morebut we decided to check out the relatively new one in Wheaton. There is a parking garage underneath the store and you either take an elevator or a steep escalator up to the ground level. There is what I guess is a security device at the entrance and exits to the store. It's much brighter and bigger than most of the Safeways I've been to. We entered near the deli section. There were a number of prepared meals that looked really good, a full service deli and already packaged selections. The bakery had plenty of desserts and sweets but it didn't seem like there were a lot of breads. Maybe I just missed something. We browsed through the meat department and went up and down the aisles. The floral department didn't have as large of a selection as a nearby store but what they did have looked fresh. We didn't really need much and had little interaction with employees. We did ask a lady in the produce section for the code to the rest room and she unlocked it for us. We were intrigued with the bargain book bin and selected a few novels and a cookbook. Near the self checkout I couldn't resist a very cute dish towel. I'm not crazy about garage parking and am very familiar with my go-to grocery store so I doubt this will be my regular store, but it may be nice for a change once in a while.

The store is small and the aisles are crammed together. I was carrying a basket and not using a shopping cart. It would have felt more challenging navigating a cart in smaller aisles. I like the personal interaction with a cashier. So many stores are encouraging customers to use the self check out. I had a few issues ringing up items. The employee was nice when helping me.

Owner is a nice guy and always very helpful and chatty with his customers. Today I came in and saw fresh mango with chili available, so I picked up some. There was also papaya salad in the fridge, so I grabbed one of those too! The sliced mango with chili was $5.50 and the papaya salad was $7.95 and both were excellent! I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back. I love this place as they have so many ready items and most have been very good! Give this place a try, you might just like it as much as I do!
