    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.
