ROMANIA: The first Lidl store with green roof, opened in the Capital | Progresiv

The unit’s parking is located at ground level and customer access to the shopping area, located at semi-basement, is done using escalators.

According to Lidl Romania representatives, the store uses a number of advanced technologies in construction, helping to reduce the energy footprint of the building.
