Maybe Tchibo and German whole-foods chains will be more novel in the US (but I don't know really). Tchibo is originally a coffee company focussing on quality and price (with whole-beans-grinding at the store) but they've long expanded into selling all kinds of clothing and home/gardening stuff. They're fanatic, too - their slogan has been "every week a new world", and they'd decorate their small shops anew every week.
