Lidl, a German discount supermarket chain, announced for the financial year 2026 (March 1, 2026 - February 28, 2027) an expansion plan of over 285 million EUR. The company will expand the national network with over 40 new stores. 1 000 new jobs will be created in Romania.
The budget is 56% higher than that allocated in 2025 and supports the acceleration of growth plans at the national level. By accelerating the expansion, Lidl Romania will strengthen its presence both in large cities and in peri-urban areas and smaller towns.
The supermarket chain employs over 14 000 people across Romania.
