In the Ukraine, FOZZY GROUP are the largest chain in the country with over 100 locations. They operate supermarkets under the SILPO name and hypermarkets under the FOZZY name not to mention their drug stores and other businesses. ( Photos courtesy of the Fozzy website )

Located in the U.S. states of California, Arizona and Nevada are the FRESH & EASY chain of stores launched by U.K. giant TESCO as their entrance into North America. The stores are smaller markets as opposed to larger more traditional supermarkets and that brings the added advantage that rapid expansion of the banner is possible and predicted. If you live in the Western U.S. expect one in your neighbourhood soon. ( Photos courtesy of the Fresh & Easy website )

In 5 regions of Italy are stores owned by GRUPPO GABRIELLI operating under the banners Tigre, Maxi Tigre and Dis Discount. They are also a part of Intermedia 1990 that is an alliance / partnership of Italian retailers formed as a purchasing group. ( Photos courtesy of Stefania Gabriella of the Gabriella Group)

SUPERMERCADOS GARCIA shown below is a chain of just 5 stores in Spain but with plans to grow to 10 in the next 5 years. I do have to say I like the design and lighting of some of their fixtures shown here. It gives them a stand out look. ( Photos courtesy of the Garcia website )

Another upscale chain of stores in the U.S. state of California is GELSON'S who have close to 20 stores in the state. Corporately they are a subsidiary of the Arden Group Ltd. holding company. ( Photos courtesy of Yvonne Cooprider and Angel Estrada from Gelsons )

In Northern Pennsylvania in the U.S. is the 9 store GERRITY'S chain that was started in 1895 with a small meat shop owned by William Gerrity and even though ownership of the business changed to the Fasula family in the late 1960's, the name Gerrity's has endured through time.
