“In our view, an online food shopis an economically unfeasible model at the moment,” managing director of Lidl, Matúš Gala, told Denník E.

Besides the online shop, there will be a new digital programme for Lidl Plus customers with weekly discounts, vouchers, lottery tickets, online leaflets and searching for shops. Such an programme works in Poland and Austria, for example.

Foreign online shops also offer food
