MODERATORS
Recently, they started cooperating more and their distribution is mutually exclusive. Yet, it might be better to have them in different colours.
Ah interesting. Maybe the families made up.
Aldi left Denmark about a year ago. Might have been more.
Auchan left Italy years ago
are there any supermarkets in Europe that are not European?
Apparently Morrisons in the UK is American
Not sure where you heard that, it's headquartered in the UK, founded by a man from Yorkshire, and the current CEO is French.

aldi and lidl created a fierce competition. I've seen walmart and spar straight up give up and leave. apparently they couldn't compete. later aldi expanded to the US
In the UK we now have Tesco and Asda saying they will price match a few Aldi products. Few others might do this occasionally as well.
Aldi responded with saying they price match Aldi on all their products.

Poland's gonna get them all!
Is Billa a franchise? If it is, I would open one in Poland, just to finish the collection.

As an American, I love aldis
Or perhaps use local shops instead of supermarkets...?
Unfortunately they cost a lot more or often don't exist.
Plus, many of us are over-stressed and overworked as is. Going to 5 different places to buy your stuff was a lot easier back in the days when most things were in walking distance and only one person in the household had to work full time.
Supermarkets put most of them out of business.
Because the local shop doesn't sell pork shoulder for ยฃ3.79/KG
they're too expensive for most of us
What do you mean? I'm not sure I know of any "local shops" or what that means precisely or how that's different from a supermarket exactly.
To me there's grocery stores like Tesco's and Sainsbury's and the rest of these seem to be in line with that.
Do you mean like corner shops/stores like an off-licence?

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/
Love how Metro has Switzerland and Slovenia surrounded.
Mercadona ftw!
Isn't the CEO of Mercadona financing the far right in Spain Vox party? Did you wonder why Mercadona only hires spanish people, only to treat them like shit later anyway? Also all this unfaithful practices they did to fuck up competition and all the increase of prices even when the government reduced the tax...
Man, fuck Mercadona.
Not only that but a lot of products (food especially, except meat) are really bad (both in Portugal and in Spain).
