Lorain, Ohio — Grocery Outlet, a national discount grocery chain, is preparing to open a new location in Lorain later this year. The store will be located at 4415 Leavitt Road, at the intersection with Tower Boulevard, in a new retail development that will also include Five Below and another major retailer.
According to publicly available leasing and business listings, the Lorain Grocery Outlet is expected to open by late summer or early fall. The property is part of a growing commercial corridor in the city, which has seen an increase in retail development over the past year.
The specific square footage of the Lorain store has not been confirmed, but Grocery Outlet locations typically range between 12,000 and 20,000 square feet, based on company standards.
Grocery Outlet is known for offering brand-name groceries at discounted prices. The company operates on a model where stores are independently owned and operated, and each location is tailored to the needs of the local community. Job listings indicate that hiring is underway for management and operational roles in preparation for the store’s opening.
The Lorain store will join other Ohio locations recently opened in Parma, Brooklyn, and Canton, with more sites expected across the state as part of the company’s regional expansion.
Grocery Outlet accepts SNAP/EBT benefits and typically carries a variety of products including fresh produce, refrigerated and frozen foods, household items, and specialty selections such as organic and gluten-free products.
Store hours have not yet been announced for the Lorain location. Most existing Grocery Outlet stores operate between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., though hours can vary by location.
It is not yet known whether the Lorain project involved any public incentives or development agreements from the city. No related items appear in recent city council agendas, and no announcements have been made regarding tax abatements or subsidies for the retail plaza.
Further information on the store’s official opening date, potential grand opening events, and additional tenant details is expected to be announced closer to launch.
