Lidl will continue its investments on the local market and will create new job opportunities countrywide, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
The company employs over 3,300 people in its Romanian stores, regional distribution centers and headquarters.
Lidl is part of the Lidl & Schwartz group that also owns Kaufland, and entered the Romanian market by taking over the Plus discount chain in 2010 from the Tengelmann group. Lidl is currently the most extensive store chain in Romania.
