Lidl Ireland Managing Director Says Retailer Sells Lot More Than €1 Billion

Lidl sells “significantly more” than €1 billion worth of goods in Ireland, according to country managing director John Paul Scally. Lidl, which Kantar said accounts for about 8.5 percent of Ireland’s grocery market, plans to add 40 or 50 stores to its current total of 147 retail branches across the country. Also, the discount retailer plans to launch stores with larger and more upscale format based on the €5 million concept store in Gorey, Wexford.
