Lidl International

Bibiana started her career at Lidl in Valencia. Ten years later, she's still with Lidl, but nothing else has stayed the same. Before joining Lidl España, Bibiana Pastor Menosi lived in Italy and Germany, where, as a customer, she began to fall in love with the culture and products of Lidl Italia and Lidl in Deutschland. When the chance for an International Job Rotation came up, the Area Manager was still up for a challenge: a new culture, an English-speaking country. So she chose Lidl GB. ❤️💙💛 Bibiana made the move with her German husband and two toddlers. England welcomed them with sunny days, until the proper British rain arrived. But the kids were too busy jumping in puddles and learning what "wellies" are. So much so, they now prefer speaking English and  don't even want to go back. 🇬🇧 The experience felt like a rollercoaster. "In the month before moving, you keep going up. The tension rises. Upon arriving, you go boom." But after one decade at Lidl, she can always rely on this: "Lidl never lets you fall. There are always people supporting you."

400,000 people. One festival. And one question: What does modern retail look like beyond the store? At Tomorrowland 2026 in Boom, Belgium, we set out to answer exactly that question. 🎶 For us, retail doesn't stop at the store. It means showing up wherever people come together and making everyday moments – and extraordinary ones – just a little better. Tomorrowland's spirit of community, passion and positive energy strongly resonates with Lidl. Together, we want to create meaningful experiences that go beyond products. That's why we were proud to become an official partner of Tomorrowland. ❤️💙💛 Across two unforgettable weekends, #teamlidl created memorable moments throughout the festival experience: 🛒 A Lidl festival store at DreamVille 🥐 Fresh bakery every morning, including our "Bread & Beats" Bakery Raves 🍎 Fresh Food Station with walking acts who handed out fresh fruit to the festival-visitors For us, this partnership is about much more than just visibility. It's about creating meaningful experiences that strengthen trust in our brand and show how retail can add value far beyond the checkout. And this is only the beginning. Following our successful debut at Tomorrowland Belgium, we'll continue our journey across the Tomorrowland universe – including Tomorrowland Winter in France early next year. Together, we're building a long-term partnership that brings fresh food, trusted quality and unforgettable brand experiences to people across the Tomorrowland universe. How can retailers create meaningful brand experiences beyond the traditional shopping journey?💬 #LidlInternational #teamlidl #Tomorrowland #BetterLiving

At some point in life, most people stop making bold moves because they feel like it's "too late". Estefania hasn't. And doesn't plan to. When Estefania Estevez Ibanez (Fanny Estévez) got the opportunity to join the International Job Rotation Program at 48, the Customer Service Consultant didn't think twice. She spent nine years at Lidl España, five of them working closely with a German team she never met in person. So she decided to change that and joined Lidl International in September 2025. ❤️💙💛 The whole family followed and went all in: Her husband relocated. Her son enrolled at a local Gymnasium. And her daughter chose to do a voluntary social year in Germany instead. Their philosophy is simple: "Spain can wait. The sea can wait. My house can wait. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." 🇩🇪 So since arriving, Estefania has only visited Spain twice. The family spent the weekends exploring everything they could and even stayed for Christmas. The stats so far? Twenty-five cities and twelve Christmas markets visited!

What would you do if a life-changing diagnosis forced you to rethink everything? That's what happened to Erik. "It was now or never. I quit my job, planned an adventure and just took off on my board." After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Erik Sander, a stand-up paddleboarder from Stockholm had to turn his life around. He didn't let the diagnosis define his limits. Instead it became the starting point of finding his purpose: exploring the world on his SUP, becoming one with nature, and raising awareness for his condition. Today, every stroke on his board is a statement of freedom and resilience. Out on the water, he gets to set his own course. 🏄 Erik's story shows: Movement can be a source of wellbeing, physically and mentally. With CRIVIT, our goal is to make this accessible to everyone, enforcing people to just try. 💪 To watch Episode 3 of our "Why We Try" series with Erik, follow the link in the comments. 👇 What gives you strength when life gets tough?

For Lidl-Trek cyclist Riejanne Markus, it's about a dream that lasts a lifetime. In our interview, she shares what truly fuels her ambition on the road. For her, it's not just about the podium – it's about the "World Championships": wearing that iconic jersey for a full year and carrying those stripes for the rest of her career is the ultimate motivation. That big-picture vision is what drives her performance every single day, starting right now at the Tour de France Femmes. At Lidl, we are proud to support Riejanne and the entire team during this exciting race week. This partnership brings stability and a huge range of products that help our athletes reach the next level of their performance.

"When you have a goal and you communicate it clearly, the right doors tend to open." Bence Nárai, Sales Business Partner at Lidl International, has been part of #teamlidl since 2022. After his professional basketball career, he spent three and a half years as a District Manager at Lidl Magyarország. He joined the Job Rotation Program in 2025 and now bridges Lidl International and local markets as a Sales Business Partner. ❤️💙💛 His first months were packed with language classes, leveling up his German to C1, but also making friends with other expats. "Meeting people with that same adventurous spirit helped build a great support network." As a huge sports fanatic, Germany has been a dream: From Bayern Munich matches and watching the football World Cup with the Job Rotation crew, to a trip to Berlin with Hungarian friends for the Women's Basketball World Championship. To top it off, they even headed to Stuttgart in November with Lidl colleagues for the opening game of the Handball World Cup. His advice for anyone considering the program? "The support system and structure are there. If you get the opportunity, go for it! The growth is worth the effort." What would motivate you to take the leap? 👇 #LidlInternational #LidlExpats #LidlMagyarország #teamlidl

What happens when #teamlidl meets the grand finale of world-class pro cycling in Paris? 🚴 Many people think international team building happens in corporate conference rooms. We decided to take it to the streets of Paris instead. Recently, 30 contest-winning colleagues from our stores, warehouses, and headquarters across Lidl in Germany, Lidl France, Lidl Polska and Lidl Belgium & Luxemburg came together for a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. Standing at the final stage of one of this year’s biggest sports event in cycling, our team experienced an exclusive look into high performance and teamwork: 🍌 Energy for success: Lidl-Trek nutritionist Stephanie Scheirlynck showed how targeted nutrition powers peak energy on the bike and at work. 🏁 Inspiring mindsets: An autograph session with Lidl-Trek Ambassador Aleix Espargaró highlighted the passion needed to achieve big goals. 🤝 Moments of belonging: While cheering together at the finish line, Lidl-Trek showed us how performance, trust, and belonging drive strong team results.   When colleagues support each other across every level, our entire team wins. 💡 A big thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable weekend possible. What is one unforgettable experience that brought you closer to your colleagues? #LidlInternational #LidlTrek #EmployerBranding #Teamwork #teamlidl

Everyone talks about what a job rotation does for your career. Today is dedicated to the people it brings into your life. Arti Odedra from Lidl GB and Bianca Glăvan from Lidl România first crossed paths during onboarding week of the International Job Rotation Program. Finding out they're both on the Employer Branding team at Lidl International was the cherry on top. ❤️💙💛 Before they had even packed their bags, both started planning their lives together in Heilbronn. Over time, their friendship grew: "We learned the true meaning of patience, balance, and unconditional support through each other. With a sprinkle of fun and lots of laughs," they share. Now, everyone just refers to them as "work wives". Food became their love language, and navigating a new country became a beautiful journey of cultural exchange. By introducing each other to their native traditions, mastering the local lifestyle, and supporting one another through every challenge, they didn't just learn about different cultures, they built a real home away from home. While both still work on their German skills, they also became experts in local bread, cheese, wine, and beer culture. 🇩🇪 Working abroad has always been one of Artis' life goals: "Thanks to the incredible support at Lidl, I've been able to achieve this goal while driving projects that deliver a truly tangible impact." Bianca brings the perfect energy to match: "I'm a joyful, authentic and humorous person. Whether it's building new friendships or exploring new business areas, my goal is to keep growing and to bring my true self to everything I do." On this International Day of Friendship, their message is simple: "You never know who you will meet. A complete stranger might just become someone you call family."
