Lidl Malta

Burmarrad is a small area on the road between Mosta and St Paul's Bay, and it is where Lidl Malta keeps its head office and the warehouse operation that supplies its shops. This is a business base, not a supermarket for browsing the aisles, so most UK visitors will want one of the group's stores instead. The entry appears in two of our directory lists, supermarkets in Malta and the wider supermarkets Malta directory, because it belongs to a chain that many readers search for.

The information below covers Lidl Malta as a company, with the Burmarrad address as the one site-specific detail.

Lidl in Malta

Lidl opened its first Maltese stores in April 2008, starting with three. The chain now has 12 stores. Eleven shops are in Malta itself and one is in Gozo. Malta's stores are in Santa Venera, San Gwann, Żejtun, Safi, Luqa, Qormi (two), Mosta, Sliema, Burmarrad and Żebbuġ, and the group opened its latest store in 2026.

More than 550 people work for Lidl Malta, including store staff, warehouse operators and office teams. Shoppers can expect daily essentials alongside a large selection of premium private-label products at keen prices, with an emphasis on good products and customer focus.

Head office and warehouse at Burmarrad

The Burmarrad site houses the business functions that keep the shops stocked: administration and finance, communications and human resources, facilities, real estate and supply chain, and the sales and purchasing departments. A separate warehouse team handles distribution and logistics, with roles such as warehouse assistant and warehouse supervisor.

Staff events take place here too. Food trucks visit the head office and warehouse, and the year includes annual dinners and team-building days, all aimed at helping colleagues connect.

Working for Lidl Malta

For people moving to Malta, retail and logistics can be a practical route into local work. Lidl recruits through its own careers website: you choose a vacancy, upload a CV and complete your details, and the team aims to reply within three weeks. Speculative applications are not accepted, and adverts only appear when a real need exists.

Beyond training, Lidl Malta points to a fast-paced workplace where diversity and inclusion matter, and to work-life benefits such as branded gift packs for employees who have just become new parents. Applicants whose CV does not meet the requirements still receive an email from the recruiting team.

A typical sales assistant role requires applicants to be 18 or over, to work flexible shifts including weekends and public holidays, and to speak English and/or Maltese fluently. The part-time role offers a minimum of 25 hours a week. New staff follow a training plan that mixes on-the-job learning, shadowing and classroom modules.

Community and sustainability

Lidl Malta donates food to charities through the year and has supported Puttinu Cares, the children's cancer support group, for more than ten years. It also runs initiatives for other non-governmental organisations, including groups helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds and people with learning difficulties or disabilities, and it takes part in practical, locally rooted sustainability projects.

The company has held Top Employer certification since 2019, and its stated goals across the network include set performance targets, continuous improvement and fair working conditions.
