Discounter Lidl To Open First Stores In Latvia This Week

Lidl has announced that it plans to open its first 15 stores in Latvia this week, as it formally commences operations in the country.

The openings follow a €200 million investment in Latvia by the discounter, which has also opened a regional logistics centre. It also constructed a number of new roads and other infrastructure improvements, including the planting of around 6,000 new trees.

All the new store openings are energy efficient, using green electricity supplied by Latvenergo, the retailer added.
