About Lidl

In July 2000, Lidl burst onto the Irish grocery market and changed the face of shopping in Ireland for the better. Over the last 14 years we have opened over 175 stores across the island of Ireland and are proud to be the market leader in discount retailing in Ireland. Our success story started in Germany back in the 1970’s. Since then the company has expanded rapidly and you will now find over 10, 000 Lidl stores in more than 26 countries across Europe, serving over 7 million customers every day.
