From Italy is the CONAD cooperative who are made up of 8 major regional cooperative groups in that country. Their retail operations also include alliances with France's E.LECLERC chain. ( Photos courtesy of the Conad website )

Another cooperative this time from France is Coop Alsace who among their operations have the chain of discount stores named " Le Mutant " and the literal translation to English is " The Mutant " ( These photos came to me courtesy of Serge Lorentz from Coop Alsace )

From here on the East Coast of Canada is CO-OP ATLANTIC who has some alliances with the western Canadian FEDERATED COOPERATIVES LIMITED but remains an independent cooperative operating in Atlantic Canada. From March 2008 to July 2008 I was employed with them and worked as Grocery Manager at the location shown here in Milford Station, Nova Scotia . ( Photos courtesy of me :) )

Recently purchased by THE CO-OPERATIVE GROUP LTD in the U.K. is the SOMERFIELD chain of stores. The purchase price works out to just under $ 3.2 Billion Canadian.

Owned by the Canadian NORTHWEST COMPANY is the COST U LESS chain of 12 warehouse club type stores. Though based in the state of Washington in the U.S., their stores are all on islands such as Hawaii, Pago Pago and the Cayman Islands. Ironically, their parent company has many stores in the remote northern areas of Canada and in the U.S. state of Alaska. ( Photos courtesy of the Cost U Less website )

Allied with BRAVO SUPERMARKETS, The C-TOWN FOOD STORES chain are all individually owned and operated with most of their locations being in the city and state of New York in the U.S. as well five other states in the north eastern region of the country. ( Photos courtesy of the C-Town website )

One of the most familiar names in retail in the U.S is the FOOD LION chain which many aren't aware is owned by the DELHAIZE GROUP from Belgium. An innovator and tester of new store concepts and formats, in recent years they have opened up BLOOM stores and SWEETBAY SUPERMARKETS as shown below to meet specific consumer demographics not to mention their other U.S. store banners. Beyond the U.S. they also operate in Greece, Indonesia, Romania and of course Belgium.

Owned by France's GROUPE CASINO is the DISCO chain of stores that are one of three businesses they own in Uruguay. The Casino Group is a multi-national retailer who has too many banner names to list. The Disco chain here is NOT related to the chain of stores from Argentina bearing the same name. ( Photos courtesy of the Disco website )
