The retail chain of stores Lidl Bulgaria, part of the German Schwarz Gruppe, plans to open at least 8 more stores by the end of 2025. Not only in major cities but also in smaller towns where the brand has not yet been present, such as Aytos, Septemvri, and Kostinbrod. This will lead to the creation of over 200 new jobs. Each new store investment will range between 10 and 18 million BGN (5 – 9 million euros). The company has 136 stores in 58 towns and is employing over 4000 people in Bulgariа.
