Mobile Grocery Store Launched by Lidl Hungary
Discount chain Lidl has launched a mobile grocery store designed to bring basic food products directly to small rural communities, chairwoman Zita Szlavikovics announced at a press conference held at the company’s Ecser logistics centre.

Starting 17 October a specially converted minibus will tour 48 villages across Hungary until mid-November, reaching 28,000 people.

Lidl will offer a selection of over 80 products, including fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy items, dry goods, canned and frozen foods, at the same prices as brick-and-mortar stores.

The mobile unit will make a stop at several locations each day and serve customers for a few hours before moving on to the next village, Szlavikovics said, adding that the project is a unique Hungarian innovation. If successful, the company plans to continue and expand the programme in the spring.

Lidl currently operates 216 stores nationwide, serving approximately 3.5 million customers daily.
