Nearly 200 new jobs will be created in relation to the expansion. In 2024, the new stores that Lidl plans to open are both in large cities such as Sofia, Ruse, Burgas, and in smaller ones where the chain has not been present so far - Lom, Kavarna, Karnobat, etc. In each new facility, the company will invest an average of BGN 14 million (Euro 3.6 million).
