Discount grocer Lidl adds two more stores in the D.C. area this week, opening its newest locations in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

The stores, at 6881 New Hampshire Avenue in Takoma Park and 6111 Livingston Road in Oxon Hill, both open Dec. 9. They bring the total number of Lidl locations in the Washington region to 18 stores.

The German grocery chain has more than 11,000 stores in 32 countries and it established its North American headquarters in Crystal City, Virginia, in 2015 as a base for its planned U.S. expansion.

It now has 120 stores across nine east coast and mid-Atlantic states.

It opened its first store in the D.C. area in Manassas, Virginia, in 2017.

Lidl plans to open an additional 10 stores in Maryland and seven in Virginia.

In addition to the new Prince George’s County locations opening this week, it is also opening two new stores this week in the Baltimore area, in Timonium and Brooklyn Park.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
