Lidl keeps on optimizing its international store network. In the first four months of the current financial year, Lidl's international store opening rate continued to slow down. After streamlining its store estate in the US, the Netherlands and in Belgium in the past business year 2023/2024 (end of February), now Lidl also is reviewing its store network in key markets such as Germany, France and in Great Britain. Poland remains the leading country in the Lidl universe in terms of store expansion. Investments are being channeled into measures to increase staff efficiency as well as replacing smaller, outdated stores in mature markets with the new store standard. For 2023/2024 Lidl could grow its net revenue by 9.4% on euro basis to 125.5 billion euro. Schwarz Group emphasized that the increase in sales across all divisions was achieved with the same number of employees as in the previous year.

While this innovative approach holds promise, it raises questions about customer comfort and employee accessibility. As a customer advocate, I'm intrigued about the impact of these taller shelves on customer comfort. Will shoppers feel at ease reaching for items on the upper levels? The rise of higher shelves also raises concerns about employee accessibility and safety. How will Lidl's staff adapt to navigating and replenishing products on these higher levels? Will they require specialized equipment or training to ensure safe and efficient operations?
🇧🇪 Lidl Tests Higher Shelves to Accommodate More Products Discount Retail Chain Lidl Belgium is currently undergoing a trial phase in around twenty of its Belgian stores. The focus of this experiment is to test the viability of higher shelves within their establishments. Instead of the usual height of 1.6 meters, Lidl is investigating the practicality of implementing racks that measure 1.8 meters in height. By taking this step, the German retailer aims to expand its product range without increasing its physical store space.

Every time I leave the Lidl in Germany branch next to the central station in #Düsseldorf, I feel a sense of dissonance... On one hand, Düsseldorf, a modern and thriving city, hosting EuroCIS - The Leading Trade Fair for Retail Technology and on the other hand, a grocery #store located in a spot where almost every visitor encounters simplicity with long queues and old school carts. While no one could argue with Lidl's phenomenal results, if you look at Lidl's principles (link provided in the first comment), you will find that the first principle is: "#Customer satisfaction shapes our actions." I can't help but wonder if customers nowadays could be satisfied without the widespread deployment of #retail tech. #eurocis2024 off we go.

We brought the spin, Lidl brought the deals! ️ Had a blast hyping up the crowd and spreading some grocery cheer at our Lidl sign spin gig. It was a great gig, the crowd on the streets were the most engaging.

LIDL CANNOT AFFORD TO LEAVE THE US Thank you to Sam Silverstein from Industry Dive for quoting me in his excellent background piece on Lidl's strategy revamp in the US (link in the comments). Arch rival Aldi Süd has been competing head-to-head with Lidl in Europe. So far Aldi Süd's international operations in the US, the UK, Australia and also in China have been a global competitive advantage against Lidl. In a long-term perspective, Lidl cannot leave the non-European markets to Aldi. With Aldi Nord in Europe investing heavily into market share gains while the business shows signs of recovery, the Aldi Group seems to gain the momentum to push farther ahead. Aldi US in spring this year announced plans to add 800 stores by 2028 to its store estate of close to 2,400 locations. High inflation rates have helped Aldi in the recent past, being less dependent on external financing than competitor Lidl and owning the majority of its real estate. Lidl for its part in Europe sets itself apart from Aldi, among others, through its Lidl Plus program and, more recently, massive investments into store efficiency (SCO, ESL, automated ordering). In the UK tides seem to be turning in favor of Lidl. The Lidl Plus rewards program and Lidl's 'breadification' strategy are two elements instrumental for this (free-to-read links to my commentaries in the comments). The US operations currently are one key element of the global game of chess between Europe's two leading discounters. Worth to follow!

💥 It's a showdown in France, with private labels leading the charge in a fierce price war between Leclerc and LIDL. But are we really comparing the same things? 📺 Ads from #Leclerc and #LIDL are becoming more and more agressives, each claiming to be the cheapest. Check out the video below to forge you own opinion about the intensity (activate caption to have the english translation) 🤜 This is opening a big debate about the quality of price entry private label from regular stores versus the private labels from discount stores. Sure, in some cases, we might be comparing the same products. But most of the time, cheap price entry brands are just trying to be cheaper, not better. 🤔 I am not sure whether Leclerc's strategy to ensure that their Eco+ line is of equivalent quality to all LIDL products is feasible. While striving for such comparability may seem beneficial, it may not be a wise decision. This approach could entail significant expenses to really put the quality on par for all Eco+ products. And there's also the concern of how it might affect the quality of their standard private label offerings. 🎯 Ultimately, acknowledging the role of entry-level pricing at retailers and being transparent about the quality may prove to be both effective and more respectful towards customers, don't you think ?
