Who are we?
Find out more about our successful Lidl history below
1973
Lidl is the largest European food retail chain. Together with Kaufland, it is part of the SCHWARZ group whose headquarters are located in Neckarsulm, Germany. Our success story begins in 1973 when the first store opened in the city of Ludwigshafen under the name Lidl & Schwarz KG. This store, with only a few employees and 500 products, becomes the foundation of future strategy and expansion.
1989
France is the first European country outside of Germany where Lidl begins to expand and continues its strong expansion and growth in other European countries.
Lidl nowadays
Lidl is a family-owned business grounded on a simple philosophy: that customers deserve the highest quality goods and groceries at prices everyone can afford.
