Retail marketing in Germany was a sector that was slowly picking up and Schwarz with his knack of reading the market very efficiently as well as smartly, was able to get the best deals in terms of making his company grow. He knew that if he had to create an empire, he would have to do it on his own. So, he purchased the naming rights from the other partner of the empire, Lidl and began growing his empire under his own name.
