Lidl is a German discount supermarket chain with more than 10,000 stores in over 30 countries. It is the third-largest retailer in the world after Walmart and Carrefour.
Lidl was founded in 1930 by Josef Schwarz. The first store was opened in 1973 in Ludwigshafen, Germany. The company expanded rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s, and by 2001 it had more than 1,000 stores in Europe.
Lidl’s expansion into the United Kingdom began in 1994 with the opening of a store in London. Since then, Lidl has opened more than 800 stores across the UK.
Lidl’s products are typically private label brands. Private label brands are owned by the retailer and not by a manufacturer. This allows Lidl to offer products at lower prices.
Lidl has been criticized for its aggressive expansion plans, which have led to the closure of many small businesses in the UK. Lidl has also been criticized for its employment practices, which have been described as “exploitative” by some workers.
How do you say Lidl in English? Lidl is pronounced “lee-dell”.
