The family behind LIDL is the richest in Germany…

I shop at LiDL here in the US. It's interesting that they're doing so well when they have much lower prices and pay their employees better than other grocery stores in the area, yet these other stores claim to be barely scraping by or even losing money.

They are probably working on lower margins in the US for a few years to gain market control. They got rich in Europe they can break even in the us and still win.

Also they own "Schwarz Gruppe" which is a huge conglomerate including lidl. They also have cloud hosting, publishing, research etc. They are aiming to be the european alphabet (Google)
