Lidl has opened five stores since the beginning of the year and plans to open 15 others by the end of the year.
Lidl entered the local market in 2010, when it bought around 100 Plus discount stores from German group Tengelmann.
According to an antitrust authority report, Lidl is the third largest retail network in Romania by 2012 sales, overtaken by Kaufland and Carrefour.
Lidl has over 3,800 employees in its Romanian stores, regional distribution centers and headquarters. The company is part of German group Lidl & Schwartz, which also operates Kaufland hypermarkets in Romania.
