Filling the vacant Mars Supermarket space in Perry Hall has been a priority for
me. The County Council extended the Perry Hall commercial revitalization district to this location shortly after Mars closed in 2016.
Earlier this year, LIDL announced plans to open here and in Catonsville.
This morning, I toured the new LIDL site with Connor Bevans from LIDL and Will Anderson, director of Baltimore County’s Department of Economic Development. Plans call for an opening in January. The store will employ 30 people, all of whom will have health care benefits.
I am hoping this store boosts nearby properties in this older shopping center. It should be a positive start to the new year.
