Lidl to install hospital grade air filters in all Md. stores
Listen to this articleArlington, Virginia-based Lidl US announced Monday it will install new air filtration systems rated MERV 13 or higher in all seven of its Maryland stores and nationally by the end of this year.
Lidl US is among the first national grocery retailers to install hospital-grade air filtration systems across its entire store network. Previously, Lidl stores used advanced commercially rated MERV filtration systems. Epidemiologists and professional associations have recommended using high-efficiency air filters MERV 13 or higher wherever technically feasible to trap small airborne particles that can transmit the virus.
Lidl operates around 11,200 stores and is active in 32 countries, employing more than 310,000 employees globally. Lidl offers customers the highest quality fresh produce, meat, bakery items and a wide array of household products at the lowest possible prices.
The Germany-based discount grocer first established its U.S. headquarters in Arlington in June 2015, and today sells its award-winning products in more than 110 stores across nine east coast states.
