Portrait

With its modern store network, Lidl Switzerland has an increasingly dense presence in the Swiss market. Since entering the market in 2009, Lidl Switzerland has grown strongly year on year. Currently, more than 4,500 employees work for Lidl - with new ones joining every month. Lidl Switzerland has been a member of the Swiss Retail Federation since November 2014.

Our product range comprises around 2,000 everyday items. The Swiss origin of our products is very important to us: we generate over 50% of our sales with products from Switzerland. The range is complemented by a high-quality, fresh selection of fruit, vegetables and bread in the open shop as well as dairy products. Our weekly promotions with selected non-food and electronic items round off our range.

What our employees say

The job is very versatile and varied. I also like Lidl's strategy of offering customers high-quality products at the best price.

Vanessa

Retail specialist

I really like my entire apprenticeship, especially the insights into six different departments. I'm acquiring a lot of know-how as a result.

Asya

Businesswoman

The team in IT is great and the apprentices are optimally prepared for their final exams. I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship with us.

Pascal

Computer scientist

In addition to practical and success-oriented training, we also offer our apprentices concrete career opportunities: whether with our "Young Leader Program", where they can take on responsibility as branch managers and make their way up to branch management. Or as an employee at the head office, if you want to hit the ground running in one of our many and varied departments. Are you looking for a modern and secure employer that also values your personal development? Come to Lidl!

Steven Meier

Head of Vocational Training

The award shows that our working conditions are appreciated. It encourages us to continue to be an attractive employer on the Swiss market. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees for their daily commitment!
