October 28th, 2020 – Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter was joined by members of the Islip Town Board at a recent Lidl Supermarket Grand Opening and ribbon cutting. The new Lidl Market takes over the Best Market in Oakdale, and is the first of its kind in the Town of Islip, with this location marking the company’s eighth on Long Island. The Lidl Company bought the Best Market grocery chain in January of 2020, and plans to expand across Long Island over the next 2-3 years.

“On behalf of the Town Board, we welcome Lidl to the Town of Islip, and to Long Island. The opening of this and other Lidls will provide jobs and economic growth for our region,” said Supervisor Angie Carpenter.

On hand for the ribbon-cutting were Councilwoman, Mary Kate Mullen; Councilman, James O’Connor and Marlene Johnston, aide to Councilman, John Cochrane. Lidl in Oakdale is open daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, except holidays.
