Scoot over Trader Joe's, there's another grocery chain that has been making waves in the United States. Lidl stores first launched in Germany back in 1973, but the company didn't establish any locations in the U.S. until 2017. In the years since, the supermarket chain has opened over 100 stores across the country offering up their award-winning products to hungry Americans. Just like its competitors', Lidl's customers have rallied behind some of the food and drinks and creating buzz about the store. Here are a few of the products that Lidl loyalists can't get enough of.
