April 29 (SeeNews) - Supermarket chain Lidl Bulgaria, a unit of Germany's Schwarz Group, said it invested more than 3.5 million levs ($1.9 million/1.8 million euro) to upgrade one of its stores in the coastal city of Burgas.
The renovated site now has an expanded sales hall and a warehouse, along with six self-service checkouts, Lidl Bulgaria said in a press release over the weekend.
