The retailer said it will expand its Romanian network to 160 units by February 2013.
The largest Lidl stores stretch onto less than 1,300 square meters and the smaller ones stretch onto 800 square meters. Lidl officials said 80% of the items sold are under store brand.
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 operates in over 20 European countries and has around 9,000 stores and 100 logistic centers.
