One year on, according to data from the market research company NielsenIQ, its 19 stores now place Lidl into the top three of the most visited grocery stores, along with Rimi and Maxima, according to a company press release. The data is based on a study carried out in June based on a sample size of 1,600 persons.
Lidl now has around 2,000 employees and will soon open a 20th store in Liepāja.
"We have had a great first year of operations in Latvia and we see very positive prospects for further development, which we confirm by opening new stores in Latvia," said Jakob Josefsson, Chairman of the Board of Lidl Latvija.
