Supermarket Chain EDEKA's branch in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt to commence operations shortly
The city of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt is gearing up for the grand opening of its new EDEKA Center, set to take place on Thursday, August 7, 2025, in the former Real store location at Konrad-Adenauer-Straße 111[1].
This new addition to the cityscape will not only serve as a modern marketplace but also pay homage to Lebenstedt's industrial history, as reflected in its design[1].
The market manager of the new EDEKA Center, Tanja Sander, leads an 85-strong team and emphasizes that the EDEKA market should be more than just a place to shop, aiming to become part of the community[2]. To this end, the new center plans further social projects with local clubs and institutions[3].
The market will offer a wide range of around 30,000 items over 4,700 square meters, including fresh counters for meat, sausage, cheese, baked goods, fish, and a future sushi offer[4]. Customers can also bring their own reusable containers for fresh goods at the service counters[5].
To support the local community, the EDEKA team regularly donates food to the local food bank[6]. The new center aims to raise the local supply in Lebenstedt to a new level with its range and commitment[1].
Café Eisenherz, located within the center, promises 90 indoor and outdoor seats[7].
In terms of regional products, around 15 producers supply the new EDEKA Center, including the Wolters brewery, Gmyrek sausage products, the Okerbee city apiary, and mineral water from Bad Harzburg[8].

Some employees from the former real market have been taken over by EDEKA and will work at the new market[9].
