Lidl Hungary is also closed on Christmas Eve this year: the supermarket chain supports the peace of the holiday

Zita Szlavikovics, the president of the management board of Lidl Hungary, emphasized that family togetherness plays an important role during the holiday season.

“For Hungarian people, Christmas Eve is the most intimate family holiday. As a responsible company, we consider it important that all of our nearly 10,000 employees can spend the holiday of love in peace with their loved ones,”

he said. Lidl will close all 210 stores in the country between December 24 and 26, following its decision last year, which was highly appreciated by customers and employees.

The supermarket chain’s move is exemplary and can serve as a model for other retail chains on social responsibility during the holiday season.
