Lidl changes branch design: This is what discounter customers are now facing. As a result of the change, the shelves now form a kind of cooling tunnel because they face each other.
According to a Lidl employee, this would reduce the company's energy consumption. The refrigerated items are closer together, which means that the distances for customers are shorter. This would also make it easier for employees to clear away goods. There are currently no nationwide changes planned, but an expansion of the concept is likely.
