Lidl Choses Zaragoza For Southern European Logistics Hub
German discount supermarket chain Lidl has chosen the city of Zaragoza, in north-eastern Spain, to build its new logistics hub for south-western Europe.
The company acquired a 200,000-square-metre plot in the Zaragoza Logistics Platform, PlaZa, on which a warehouse of up to 100,000 square metres will be built, according to Spanish daily El Economista.
The hub will be used to supply Lidl stores in Spain, Portugal, France and Italy with non-food products, such as textiles, DIY equipment, and toys.
The hub, which is expected to be operational within four years and create hundreds of jobs, will be the company’s largest in southern Europe.
Lidl currently has a 150,000-square-metre logistics centre in Barcelona’s Zar Port, from where it manages the merchandise that arrives at the Port of Barcelona from Asia and is destined for final customers in south-western Europe.
The discounter has not released details of the investment on the project, but industry sources estimate it to be at least €100 million.
