In the U.S., Aldi > Lidl, for me.
What about COOP?
Spar? How widespread are those
Very widespread in Austria, second chain that comes to my mind after Billa.
There are now over 13,900 SPAR branded stores in over 48 countries on four continents, meeting the needs of over 14.7 million consumers every day.
Certainly were present in Russia before sanctions.
I’ve definitely seen Aldi in the Czech Republic
isn’t Metro B2B ?
Lidl will be soon in Bosnia
Is poland collecting supermarket chains like pokemon cards?
This is outdated. Tesco moved out of Poland a few years ago.
Didn’t know there were TESCOs outside of the UK, TIL.
Tesco started their invasion in 2012
There is no tesco in poland anymore
No Aldi in Denmark
Map is not amazing
I’ll take your word for it, but I wouldn’t rule out there being some technicality like “one lone Aldi right on the Slesvig border”.
@ryedaft@sh.itjust.works
According to Wikipedia, they were closed in 2023.
Aldi lukkede i Danmark i 2023.
Oooh, so I was whooshed, that comment makes a lot more sense then.
What about Iceland?
Which European supermarkets have non-European branches?
I remember seeing Carrefour in Buenos Aires ten years ago.
Aldi is present on many continents
Carrefour used to exist in China (not sure about now)
Delhaize has it’s Food Lion branch in the US. Delhaize is a Belgian chain.
Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V., commonly known as Ahold Delhaize, is a Dutch-Belgian multinational retail and wholesale holding company.
And one not shown in this map though…
I only know this from hearsay online - but I think Aldi has a decent US presence (I’d be interested if it’s Süd or Nord that managed to branch out there, or both 🤔), and I heard of Lidl existing in the US as well.
As for Asia, Australia, Latin America, Canada, Africa, India, the middle East… I never heard anything, but it would be interesting to hear if someone has some experience there.
süd operates as aldi in the u.s. nord bought trader joes in '79. their target markets are a little different with aldi being more mainstream including smaller cities; while trader joes tends to stay in higher-income neighborhoods of metro areas and larger cities.
Aldi has a presence in Australia in major cities, they are generally seen as an alternative to the major duopoly of Coles and Woolworths.
I know Tesco experimented with USA locations but IDK if it lasted.
Homeplus in South Korea at least used to be a Tesco thing and you could get Tesco-branded products there. Homeplus still exists, but I’m not sure if it’s still linked to Tesco any more.
Poland has 8 of them.
7, tesco is no more
Carrefour has branches in israel
I never saw a Metro in spain
Same in the NetherlandsEdit: I just looked it up and apparently Makro is owned by Metro. Plenty of Makro’s in the Netherlands.
