Lidl will continue investments in Romania and will create new jobs, the retailer said in a press release Wednesday.
It currently employs over 3,000 people in its Romanian stores, regional distribution centers and headquarters. The retailer will expand its network to 160 stores by February 2013.
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. It employs over 170,000 people worldwide.
