The company has accelerated its growth rate after its turnover climbed nearly 20% in 2018, an evolution backed, just like in 2019, by its network expansion and Romanians’ increased appetite for consumption.
Lidl reported a profit of RON491 million in 2019, up 20% on the year. All of the company’s indicators were on the rise in 2019, including staff numbers which grew by 2,000 to some 7,500 people.
Lidl has over 260 stores in Romania, of which 24 units were inaugurated in 2019, the fastest expansion rate since its entry on the local market.
