“Our main promise to customers has not changed - to provide the best price-quality ratio. The customer has always been at the center of our attention, and we focused on ensuring the lowest prices every day, not only in various promotions, last year as well. We continued to invest in price competitiveness in this difficult global food price situation. Our efforts are also confirmed by the data from the market research company “SeeNext” - in several their surveys the lowest prices were found at Lidl stores in Latvia,” says Janusz Przemyslaw Wlodarczyk, CEO of “Lidl Latvija”.
