Description
Lidl discount network will create 100 new jobs in Slovakia. The business expansion is attributed to the split of the Lidl regional headquarters located in the Czech Republic, which currently operates as a joint unit for the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. A separate management centre will be established for Slovakia in Bratislava in 2011. The new jobs will be also created with the opening of new stores across the country. As of April 2011, there is no additional information on this business expansion.
