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.
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This is outdated.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.
There is no tesco in poland anymore
Tesco started their invasion in 2012
Which European supermarkets have non-European branches?
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.
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.
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)
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

Lidl will be soon in Bosnia
Spar? How widespread are those
Spar is very widespread in Europe, however it is a network of differently owned companies and not one big companies like these others
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.
Massive in UK / Ireland too!
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.
What about Iceland?
isn’t Metro B2B ?
It is in France. Private individuals can’t even enter the shops.
It used to be like that in the past in my country, now it’s B2C too
What 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.
auchan & metro? still?
