Weis Markets announced that it will rollout same-day delivery via Shipt beginning on September 6 in 11 markets throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Shipt, based in Alabama and owned by Target, said the rollout will give nearly 2.6 million households access to products delivered from Weis in as soon as one hour.
The same-day service will serve as another online option for Wies customers, as the supermarket chain already has its Weis 2 Go click-and-collect grocery service available at about 90 stores. Weis operates 2016 stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia and Virginia.

First 20 Lidl stores coming this summer
Lidl revealed this morning that it plans to open 20 stores this summer, with the earliest openings coming in June. The company didn't specify which stores would open next month, but did release a list of the first 20. They are in North Carolina (9), Virginia (9) and South Carolina (2).
All 20 stores will be serviced from Lidl's new distribution centers in Virginia and North Carolina. A distribution center in Maryland is still under construction.
According to Lidl US CEO Brendan Proctor, an additional 80 stores in markets from New Jersey to Georgia will open by the summer of 2018.
"People want a good quality product, they want it at a good price and they don't want to spend all day in a store - they want to get back to living," Proctor said. "That's what our model is about. That's our strength."
When asked about some reported skepticism about Lidl's real estate choices, Proctor deflected the question and touted the company's ability to adapt and the quality of its offerings.
As for the store's product mix, Proctor said they will source about 85% of products from the U.S. EVP and Chief Commercial Officer Boudewijn Tiktak added that around 90% of the selection will be private brand.
All Lidl stores will have bakeries but no service deli or meat departments.

Lidl to begin opening stores this summer
Lidl announced last month that it would open the first 20 of its U.S. stores this summer rather than waiting for 2018. It had been previously thought that the company would open about 100 stores in the first quarter of next year.
Lidl has been aggressively purchasing property in Eastern states from New Jersey to Georgia, and it has been reported that they now have real estate representatives in Texas. The stores to open this summer are reportedly planned for Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Schwarz Group, one of Europe's largest retailers and the parent to Lidl, established its U.S. headquarters in Arlington, VA and is building distribution centers in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. Its strategy so far has been to purchase ground so that its 36,000 square foot stores will be in direct competition to traditional supermarkets as well as small-format and discount grocery retailers.
"We are thrilled to introduce residents across the East Coast to a unique shopping experience," said a company representative. "Grocery shopping involves too much compromise. Customers are being forced to choose between quality, price and convenience, and this is a compromise they shouldn't have to make. At Lidl, we are committed to delivering outstanding quality goods to our customers at market leading prices."

Lidl adds third U.S. distribution site
Lidl, which has been acquiring supermarket sites up and down the east coast for the last couple years, said last month it would build a regional distribution center in Cecil County, Maryland. The site will be the company's third such center in the U.S. Lidl previously announced it would build warehouses in Fredericksburg, VA and Mebane, NC. Its U.S. headquarters are in Arlington, VA.
Lidl operates about 10,000 stores in 27 countries, and is considered a major competitor to Aldi. In the U.S., Lidl reportedly plans to open about 100 stores in early 2018. At 36,000 square feet, the stores will be nearly twice the size of Aldi's U.S. stores.

ShopRite, Weis, Grocery Outlet add stores
It was announced last month that Village Super Market, a Wakefern member that operates 29 ShopRite supermarkets, signed a lease for a 90,000 square foot store that will anchor a new mixed-use development in Old Bridge, NJ. The store is slated to open next summer. Plans for the development include 2,000 residential units and more than 500,000 square feet of retail space.
Weis announced last month that it plans to purchase five Mars stores in Baltimore County, Maryland. When the purchase is complete (in late July, according to the announcement), Weis will have nine stores in the county. Mars currently operates 13 stores, including the five stores to be closed. The company closed four stores earlier this year.
Grocery Outlet, the California-based chain that purchased Amelia's in 2012, celebrated its 50th Pennsylvania store with its opening last month in Quakertown's Trainer's Corner Shopping Center. Sears Hardware had previously occupied the building. A Grocery Outlet employee said the company plans more stores, with an expansion goal of 80 throughout New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia.

Weis Markets investing over $100 million in growth
Weis Markets announced last week that it would invest more than $100 million on 16 growth and improvement projects in 2014. The company also said it would continue to increase its focus on "maximizing efficiency by driving millions of dollars of cost out of the system while maintaining high standards for store service."
President and CEO Jonathan Weis said this ongoing focus has helped Weis Markets to reduce store level inventories and improve freshness.
In 2013 Weis opened two stores in Maryland, and one each in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The company has more than 18,000 employees and operates 165 stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey and West Virginia.

Three Super Fresh stores to close in NJ
A&P has announced it will close three New Jersey Super Fresh stores in January. The stores are located in Evesham (Marlton), Haddon Township and Plainsboro.
Since New Jersey-based A&P filed for bankruptcy protection nearly two years ago, several of its banners have closed in the state, including many Pathmark stores and a Super Fresh. Stores have been closed elsewhere as well. The company emerged from bankruptcy as a private company earlier this year.
According to Super Fresh's website, there are currently 25 stores operating, including the three slated for closure. 12 are in Pennsylvania, six in New Jersey, five in Delaware and two in Maryland.
Overall, A&P operates more than 300 stores under the A&P, Food Basics, The Food Emporium, Pathmark, Super Fresh and Waldbaum's banners.

Wawa signs leases, plans to enter Florida market
According to the Orlando Business Journal, Wawa has signed "more than 10" leases in the Orlando, Florida market, and the retailer has indicated it will open as many as 100 stores in the state.
According to a Wawa regional real estate manager, site work on the first set of stores will begin in the next month or two, with openings taking place next summer.
Currently Wawa has 588 stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Fuel is offered at 298 of these locations (that's more than half for those keeping score).
I have previously written about Walmart's entry into the convenience store/gas arena and their roll-out of up to 350 stores per year, but I doubt the Greater Philadelphia area is high on their list because of Wawa's domination here. It'll be interesting to see, however, if the Big Ws battle it out in the Sunshine state!

Update: Judge approves sale of most Maryland Super Fresh stores
I've blogged a couple times about the sale of 12 Super Fresh stores in Maryland and the issues some landlords have with the sale (June 10 - More hurdles in the sale of Mid-Atlantic Super Fresh stores; May 31 - Landlord objects to Super Fresh sale to Green's Natural Market).
On Tuesday, the judge in A&P's bankruptcy case approved the sale of eight of the 12 stores, but delayed approval on four stores, three of which were bid on by Mrs. Green's Management Corp. and one by Village Super Markets. The judge said the delay was to give Regency Centers time to resolve its objection to the assignment of its lease in Parkville to Mrs. Green's.
All other objections were overruled.
