EfreetSKA map of European supermarkets
deegeeseWhich European supermarkets have non-European branches?
AbnormalHumanBeingI 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.
I know Tesco experimented with USA locations but IDK if it lasted.
adarzasüd 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.
Dave.Aldi has a presence in Australia in major cities, they are generally seen as an alternative to the major duopoly of Coles and Woolworths.
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.
FuckswearwordsDelhaize 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…
Aldi is present on many continents
Carrefour used to exist in China (not sure about now)
I remember seeing Carrefour in Buenos Aires ten years ago.
rnercleauchan & metro? still?
Roubles talk.
French retailer Auchan close to selling its stores in Russia lemonde.fr/…/french-retailer-auchan-close-to-sell…
Auchan leaves Russia: local buyer found for subsidiary - 24 October 2024 www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/10/24/7481204/
The CEO of the Metro supermarket chain confirmed plans to continue business in Russia. The National Agency for Prevention of Corruption included Metro AG in the list of international war sponsors.
Poland has 8 of them.
7, tesco is no more
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”.
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.
DequeiI never saw a Metro in spain
Same in the Netherlands
How did you find that info? When i search for metro a lot of companies come up but none of them are the metro im searching for. I have never seen a metro in hungary either so im thinking they probably operate under a different name in every country.
Carrefour has branches in israel
This is outdated. Tesco moved out of Poland a few years ago.
Is poland collecting supermarket chains like pokemon cards?
ShadowedcrossDidn’t know there were TESCOs outside of the UK, TIL.
There is no tesco in poland anymore
Yeah its kinda strange that onenof the largest store chains in hungary is tesco which mainly operates in the uk otherwise.
Tesco started their invasion in 2012
Tesco invades Denmark
Lidl will be soon in Bosnia
isn’t Metro B2B ?
suokoIt used to be like that in the past in my country, now it’s B2C too
vegantomatoAll of Europe is controlled by LIDL
Spar? How widespread are those
Certainly were present in Russia before sanctions.
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.
schnurritoVery widespread in Austria, second chain that comes to my mind after Billa.
MicrowSpar is very widespread in Europe, however it is a network of differently owned companies and not one big companies like these others
ScotinDubMassive in UK / Ireland too!
I’ve definitely seen Aldi in the Czech Republic
The Ramen DutchmanWhat about COOP?
Italy and Swiss afaik
At least the NL as well, I was surprised to see them in Swiss!
Swiss rules and regulations are so strict, you can’t even think of not paying taxes: cooperatives customers and workers usually have that mindset so that fits in some way.
Let alone where they’re dirty money comes from, their state implementation looks well done in swiss.
potoooooooo ✅️In the U.S., Aldi > Lidl, for me.
MoonRavenIn the Netherlands, lidl is a lot better than Aldi.
Carrefour is on the [BSD list(]bdsmovement.net/Act-Now-Against-These-Companies-P…) tho ! This article gives more info on how it supports Israel, even if it weren’t, it’s expensive compared to other supermarkets in France like Lidl, Aldi or even Auchan.
Norway is like “No”.
