E-shops at Biedronka and Lidl - to be or not to be?

According to Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, discount store chains Biedronka and Lidl plan to launch online stores in 2016. "It should minimize losses after the introduction of the tax on commercial networks," it said. The newspaper states, that Biedronka is currently at an advanced stage of creating an e-shop. In September 2015, Biedronka's CEO claimed, that "opening an online store is a matter of time." As far as Lidl is concerned, there has been no confirmed information as yet. "Currently we are focused on selling our products in more than 550 stores throughout the country, but we have not ruled out launching an e-store in the future," commented Anna Biskup, PR Manager at Lidl Polska.
