Fidl is a supermarket chain featured Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. The chain is a spoof of Lidl, a Germany-based supermarket chain with outlets in Europe, and a play on the word fiddle, "fiddler" being slang for a rapist or pedophile and British slang for a mastubator. Fidl is also revealed in GTA Vice City Stories to be selling German products with sexually suggestive names.

Locations

The chain has very little significance in GTA Liberty City Stories, consisting of only one supermarket in Portland View, Portland, Liberty City, which is implied to be rebranded as a Supa Save! by events in Grand Theft Auto III, set three years after 1998, GTA Liberty City Stories' timeline.

In GTA Vice City Stories, Fidl operates three stores in Vice City: Two in Little Haiti and one in Washington Beach. Interiors of the store are also present.
