Gigantul care nu a ajuns în România. Tesco, cel mai mare lanţ de magazine din Marea Britanie, ar putea vinde către patronul Lidl şi Kaufland afacerile din Cehia şi Slovacia - Financial Times - Economica.net

German group Schwarz, owner of Lidl and Kaufland, is among potential buyers for Tesco's European operations as the British retailer seeks to exit foreign markets. Sources indicate that Schwarz plans to bid for Tesco's businesses in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, alongside Dutch Ahold Delhaize and Polish Biedronka. Tesco is evaluating options for its Central and Eastern European operations, which employ over 22,000 staff and reported revenues of £4.5 billion last year. The sale is seen as a strategic move for Tesco, which has been under pressure from increased competition and regulatory challenges, particularly in Hungary. Initial offers are expected by the end of the month, with other interested companies likely to emerge.
