Metro is B2B-only in Belgium, their B2C stores (Makro) no longer exist.

Think they're B2B in Germany as well.

I feel like it would maybe be more useful to see which American chains, if any, operate in Europe.

It seems half the supermarkets here in Dennark are Norwegian chains, for some reason. Not sure if there are any non-European ones around.

This map is still useful to remind everyone that Auchan is an amoral American style corporation that keeps doing doing it's best to keep a fascist country attacking Europe well supplied.

Lidlโ€™s got their fucking ground covered. They are not even just in Europe. Theyโ€™re a major brand even in the USA. Same with Aldi. These two cheap discounters are not messing around.

Small hint: it should be Aldi Sรผd. Not Sud.

Sud is disgusting (basically meat juice) while Sรผd is a โ€ždirectionโ€œ.

In my town (in America) there is literally a lidl and aldi across the street from each other

I like to imagine the staff get into fights

It is the official German way to write รผ in situations where only the basic 26 letters are available. Same with รค as ae and รถ as oe.
