From Argentina is the chain SUPERMERCADOS ALAS that has been in business since 1963. Their stores appear to be mid-sized traditional style supermarkets. ( Photos courtesy of the Alas website )

One of the world's most secretive retailers is ALDI based in Germany who have operations in 15 countries including the U.S. It is estimated their total annual sales are upwards of $ 50 Billion. ( Photos from the internet )

ALVI SUPERMERCADOS MAYORISTAS from Chile is a chain of 26 cash and carry format stores in that country with 16 in the metropolitan areas and the remainder in other regions. ( Photos courtesy of the Alvi website )

Located in the U.S. in Pennsylvania is the discount grocery chain AMELIA'S GROCERY OUTLET of 11 stores. Their business as a discount grocer means they are an authorized manufacturerers clearing house. It's actually a great concept...even discontinued products need to go somewhere.

With over 500 locations, APNA BAZAAR is India's largest supermarket chain and have ongoing plans to continue growth in India as well as having set the goal of becoming a global retailer. ( Photos courtesy of the Apna Bazaar website )

The following images are of the ARAUJO SUPERMERCADOS chain from Brazil. They have less than 10 stores but as you can see, the ones they have are fairly large with a wide offering. ( Photos courtesy of the Araujo website )

Another Brazilian chain with just under 10 stores is SUPERMERCADOS ARCHER who have been in business since 1936. From outside appearances one could easily mistake them as being a North American company. ( Photos courtesy of the Archer website )

One of the best known of Wal-mart's holdings is the ASDA chain in the U.K which they purchased in 1999 when they first launched into significant expansion into Europe and Asia. Most people in the industry refer to them simply as Walmasda ( Photos courtesy of the ASDA website )

Part of the AXEL JOHNSON AB conglomerate of Sweden is their retailing arm of AXFOOD who operate under three banners ; Hemkop , Willy:s and PrisXtra . I think you will agree that the interior of their stores shown here implies quality. ( Photos courtesy of the Axfood website )

Based in the U.S. state of Nebraska with stores also in Iowa is the B&R STORES chain of 18 locations under the banners Super Saver, Russ's Market and ALPS ( short for Always Low Price Store ). ( Photos courtesy of the B&R website )

If you make your way to Arizona in the U.S. you should check out the BASHA's chain of stores there. Under three banners they have over 150 stores in the state and among their holdings is a gallery they own and sponsor of Western / Native American art.

In the U.S. state of California is the 13 store BIG SAVER FOODS chain. Their business concentrates on meeting the needs of the Hispanic community which is sure to mean more locations in their future. Especially in California there is increased attention finally being paid to serving the needs of ethnic groups who make up a large part of the population.
