Another German-based discount food retailer is attempting to gain ground in the ultra-competitive U.S. food market. Lidl, which competes with fellow discounter Aldi, has broken ground on a regional headquarters and distribution center in Virginia’s Spotsylvania County. The retailer has acquired several land parcels in the metro Virginia areas. Lidl has previously announced plans for a regional\/distribution office in Alamance County, NC along with several new stores in the Charlotte, NC Market.
