Lidl is building one of its largest distribution centres in Europe in the Czech Republic. The new premises just outside Prague will have an area of 60,000 square metres.
This is Lidl's fifth logistics site in the Czech Republic, with the distribution centre located on the site of a former steel factory in the town of Buštěhrad. From 2021, Lidl hopes to operate there.
The DC will have 60,000 square metres of storage space, a third of which will be dedicated to the storage of fresh or frozen goods. The site will have capacity to supply up to 90 shops in the Czech Republic. According to Lidl, around 500 people will work at the distribution centre.
