Lidl Again Refuses to Sell Fireworks for New Year's Eve

Fireworks and pyrotechnics pose a high risk of injury and burns and cause a lot of noise, waste and fine dust every New Year's Eve. That's why more and more cities and municipalities in Austria are banning private fireworks on New Year's Eve.

No Fireworks Sale at Lidl Austria This Year Either

Lidl Austria has also been refraining from selling fireworks in local branches since 2016. In addition, no stands are rented out on Lidl parking lots to external companies.

"We will continue to adhere to this line. Rockets and firecrackers burden our environment with fine dust, cause stress for domestic and wild animals, and injure people every year. Those who still want to make a bang should rather rely on champagne corks - and there are definitely enough of those in our branches", says Simon Lindenthaler, Head of Corporate Communications & CSR at Lidl Austria.
