Spar, that is basically Global now
And Billa is Rewe, including: Penny, Nahkauf, Adeg, BIPA, Toom, DER, …
They suck.
Coops tend to be far better.
And they give eggs :)
where Spar?
Some patterns jump out:
- None of them have presence in Norway.
- They all skip Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, and North Macedonia.
- But some are in Croatia.
Curious, why?
Between Coop, Rema and Norgesgruppen(Meny, Kiwi, Spar etc.) nobody have really been able to establish themselves. Lidl tried but only laster a couple years or so.
Well, in Norway we have a cartel/triopoly which is not good. Lidl tried to establish here, but were quickly squeezed out of competition.
Sounds like our situation here in Sweden (ICA, coop, Axfood).
Auchan still operates in russia. https://leave-russia.org/auchan
Not sure I’d push Tesco as a great company. They are pioneers of data collection through the Clubcard and absolutely hammer you on price if you don’t have one.
That is sadly a trend I witness heavily here. Have a card or pay a lot more. Except Aldi they all do that now. You can’t trust any discount-signs anymore as they all have a Lil footnote á LA “only with our app”. Boycotting this trend seems to be hard 😔
As someone who doesn’t have a club card and never will. I do have to shop in Tesco occasionally for smaller things but I have noticed the savings aren’t as much anymore. This is not to justify it, I think there was a big push to get your data and now they have it, they are rolling back to the benefits.
Not that the prices were that great anyway, just brought things down to normal prices.
Edit - also screw you sainsburys for exactly the same thing.
Metro is B2B-only in Belgium, their B2C stores (Makro) no longer exist.
Think they’re B2B in Germany as well.
Think they’re B2B in Germany as well.
You are correct
In Czechia, you need to legally be an entrepreneur/bussines to get the free Makro membership to shop there.
Yeah, you need a VAT number.
It used to be like that in Makro as well, but people basically would use the data of some self-employed uncle to get cards for the entire family, so they dropped the VAT-restriction (but card was still mandatory)
My whole childhood was spent at the Makro, sad that it’s gone
Same in France
None of these chains are present in Norway. Lidl tried years ago and gave up. We only have some Norwegian chains here.
Norway has SPAR, right?
We do, but in an odd way. One of the Norwegian chains use Spar as a brand for some of their stores.
Interesting. Where can I read more about this? Searching for SPAR and Norway seems to suggest that it’s just a regular part of SPAR.
Interesting enough, the chains in this graphic that operate in Germany are German. Apart from some small outlets, the German market is controlled by German chains. It’s just that these also became relatively successful internationally.
Aldi is really successful in the US now https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vT5-cV4oMY8&t=19s&pp=ygUIV3NqIGFsZGk%3D
As an American, I love aldis
Auchan is one of the shadiest there is. Still operating in Russia with no intention of leaving.
In Portugal I usually stick to Continente or Pingo Doce (both Portuguese capital owned, I think), and sometimes Lidl for some products that are only sold there.
Oh, and Normal (which I think is scandi) is really good to buy name brands.
are there any supermarkets in Europe that are not European?
Well, Walmart tried
dont forget the different Nettos. looks like scandinavia is free of supermarkets.
Coop bought out Netto in Sweden, so it would be gray for that map too.
we still have two nettos and its very confusing. https://www.supermarktblog.com/2013/04/19/schnell-erklaert-das-doppelte-nettochen/
Lidl’s got their fucking ground covered. They are not even just in Europe. They’re a major brand even in the USA. Same with Aldi. These two cheap discounters are not messing around.
Small hint: it should be Aldi Süd. Not Sud.
Sud is disgusting (basically meat juice) while Süd is a „direction“.
Looks so nice tbh. Aldis in Germany (not Aldi Süd, I have Aldi Nord which is different and separate) are ugly as hell lol. I hate shopping at Aldi in Germany.
In my town (in America) there is literally a lidl and aldi across the street from each other
I like to imagine the staff get into fights
They probably couldn’t care less about that sort of rivalry lol. They just go there to earn money. If anything I imagine they spend their breaks together.
Maybe they kiss
Yeah and maybe it leads to more intimate stuff. 🫦
They probably do dance-offs.
Sued
Rejected
It is the official German way to write ü in situations where only the basic 26 letters are available. Same with ä as ae and ö as oe.
I was making a joke about „sued“ as in verklagt. But I failed so fml.

Aldi left Denmark about a year ago. Might have been more.
Love how Metro has Switzerland and Slovenia surrounded.
