Lidl, which employs over 3,000 people in Romania, said it will continue expanding.
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.
Lidl is one of the top ten food retailers worldwide and employs over 170,000 people.
