German grocer Lidl entered the US in 2017 with promises to bring deeply discounted goods to 600 stores in the US. But, the chain, whose biggest international rival is Aldi, seems to be closing more stores than it is opening.
Lidl, whose US headquarters are in Virginia, closed 11 stores recently in North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, South Carolina, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, the Daily Mail first reported.
