    I live in New York. We have Aldi’s and lidl, both pretty awesome stores. We also have Walmart.

  2. Curious as to why Norway doesn’t have Lidls anymore.

    I know Walmart failed in europe due to a combination of getting the concept wrong, and trying to ignore labour laws.

    Aldi closed in Denmark:///

    Amazing supermarket, I always loved the cheap german brands, way better than our own.

  4. The map colours all the UK and Ireland in for Aldi but while it exists in mainland GB and in the Republic of Ireland. There is no Aldi in Northern Ireland.
    We do have a Lidl though.

  5. Lidl: What if Germany won WW1

    Aldi: Europe on the eve of Operation Barbarossa

    Kaufland: Hohenzollern Federation

    Carrefour: Napoleon is back, baby

    Walmart: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Germany under house Hanover

  6. I live in the UK but have family back in Ukraine and during one catch up on the phone they said they were getting a Lidl soon but didn’t know what it was. We LOVE Lidl so raved to them about it, and then the war happened and they didn’t get a Lidl.

    Carrefour is looking for someone to buy their business in Poland and to opt out from this market

  8. Carrefour also sold the Italian branch earlier this year, the brand will be entirely dismissed by 2028.

  9. Walmarts are ubiquitous in USA. I’ve heard of Lidl and Aldi, tho IDK if there are any near me. (Looked it up: 2 Aldi’s within driving distance but further than I would go, Lidl on the East coast but may be coming near here) The other(s), no.

    Over here in Greece we pronounce “carrefour” as “karfur” sometimes!

    Just a fun detail

    I salute our German and British brothers for holding out the defense against the Scourge from the Western Seas. We owe you our way of life

  12. We have Carrefour in Brazil. They’ve had some bad rep for prejudice and racism against clients and bad labor practices.
    We had Walmart too but they failed in Brazil

    Used to be a carrefour in the metrocentre but that’s the only one I know of in the UK. Pretty sure the UK has never had a Walmart 🤔

    There are two in Rovaniemi, Finland. I love it that they have more vegetarian/vegan stuff.

  15. Only Lidl. Rarely shop there as their selection is a bit more limited. However I like their non food things, like Parkside branded tools.

  16. Is getting a Lidl a precondition of joining the EU or something?

    Edit: ah nvm, Malta got in without it

  17. Mildly funny that the northernmost Aldi is an Aldi Sud in Macduff Scotland, and the southernmost Aldi is an Aldi Nord in Algecrias on the southern tip of Spain.
