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.

Fuck them all. Buy local, or from smaller companies.

I try to. But fucking hell, Maxima and Lidl sometimes have so much better prices. Though to be fair, it's usually because of the fact that they sell more foreign foodstuffs while the local companies sell more local stuff. So buying cheap stuff from Maxima or Lidl is a double whammy to the local economy. Which is why I haven't been to Lidl in like half a year. Maxima at least has local products too

And to be clear, even the local alternatives are supermarkets generally. Very few small independent stores are left and the ones that do still exist are usually significantly more expensive and don't carry a lot of stuff.

Aldi has left Denmark so the map is a bit outdated.

Coop. It's cooperative. Get your membership today.

We have those in Italy (all.coop). However, the biggest one (coopalleanza3-0.it) seems to be up to mischiefs lately (asking for location on page load, strange customer points programmes, โ€ฆ)

Maxima needs to expand to more countries, honestly. I visit Lithuania regularly and I love that store.

we call it mahima here since it's usually frequented by occupants and staffed by people who can't speak the local language. Despite that it has good prices and one of the best kitchens of any big market. Just annoying to shop with some babushkas who act like their kgb officer husband is still alive.
