He was the son of the fruit seller Josef Schwarz who ran a shop with his partner Lidl. After finishing high school he started working with his father. In 1973 the Schwarzes decided to open their first supermarket, imitating the Aldi model. This supermarket spread throughout Germany for a large selection of products with low prices.They had a problem because his surname meant black so he decided to use the last name of his father's partner to avoid problems. Four years after opening the first supermarket, Lidl was already a chain of 33 stores. In 1977 Josef Schwarz died and his son was left in charge of the company. Today he is the second richest man in Germany. Currently, Lidl is a very successful company for its low prices and also for its large campaigns against pollution.
