There was a big duopoly in the Finnish market, between the K chain and the S chain. But then Lidl (Aldi) (German chain) moved in and shook things up.

  Is Aldi owned by Lidl? We have both here in South Carolina. They seem quite different. I like one and not the other. Edit: It appears they aren’t related corporations.

    Same family, but post-dispute. IIRC.

      Nope, you’re thinking of Aldi Nord/Aldi Süd. Both are present in Germany and in the US (with one under the "Trader Joe’s" brand, other countries are served by just one of them.

        Ach du lieber-schlieber, you are right. I stand corrected.

          Lidl's sibling is Kaufland. Both owned by a single company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarz_Gruppe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarz_Gruppe
