The store covers 1,368 square meters and engulfed RON16 million.

The project was carried out by Lidl in partnership with a Romanian general entrepreneur and with help from local authorities.

Lidl officially entered the Romanian market in 2011 by taking over Plus Discount and gradually became the third largest local retailer by turnover, with nearly EUR1.3 billion in 2016, the last year for which public data are available.

Lidl has more than 220 stores and more than 5,500 employees.
