- livrem 3y agoWikipedia says they are "the second largest retail company in the Nordic countries[citation needed]". Pretty big company anyway and embarrassing for them. Would love to learn more about what the bug was, but I guess they will never say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICA_AB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICA_AB
- vinay427 3y agoIs that intended as a correction? It’s a different claim, as far as I can tell, and the data I could find points to ICA in fact being the largest supermarket chain in Sweden by turnover. https://www.esmmagazine.com/retail/top-5-supermarket-retail-chains-in-sweden-240855 https://www.esmmagazine.com/retail/top-5-supermarket-retail-...
- livrem 3y agoNo disagreement, just additional information.
- napoleongl 3y agoTbh I was just too lazy to find its place in the rankings. It sure is a big business anyway
- hinkley 3y agoThis isn't even one of the weird years! Is this why we can't have nice things?
