Company Press Release: Arlington, VA – Lidl US announced today that it would welcome Roman Heini to its leadership team as Chairman, effective March 1, 2019.
Heini, who joined Lidl last October, will relocate to the company’s Arlington, VA headquarters to collaborate with the management team led by Lidl US CEO Johannes Fieber. Together, the team will continue to focus on supporting and optimizing Lidl’s U.S. store operations, its Best Market integration in New York and New Jersey, and the grocer’s ongoing expansion into new markets along the East Coast.
