Lidl expands in the US

Lidl is set to open no fewer than nine stores in the United States on 15 June, all located in Virginia and North and South Carolina.

The retailer plans to increase the number of store openings to 20 by the end of the summer and to reach a total of 100 outlets along the East Coast by the end of the year.

All stores will have a retail space of around 1,800 square metres along with six aisles, which the retailer claims to have designed to ensure an ideal shopping experience.

The stores will stock 90% private label products.
