Lidl is expanding its retail presence and service offerings in France. The company recently opened a new supermarket in Lescar featuring eco-responsible infrastructure and green electricity, while also planning a new location in Lannion on the site of a former Géant Casino.

Building on this expansion, Lidl is launching new outlet stores in Marquette-lez-Lille and Mauguio to sell non-food unsold inventory at significant discounts. The retailer is also implementing anti-waste initiatives, such as selling discounted produce and donating funds to the charity Restos du Cœur, alongside introducing new household products.
