Interesting enough, the chains in this graphic that operate in Germany are German. Apart from some small outlets, the German market is controlled by German chains. It’s just that these also became relatively successful internationally.
Norgesgruppen lista SPAR as one of their brands/concepts. Unfortunately, their Norwegian / English toggle doesn’t work, but this is the Norwegian version: https://www.norgesgruppen.no/om-oss/om-oss-hjem/
None of these chains are present in Norway. Lidl tried years ago and gave up. We only have some Norwegian chains here.

Norway has SPAR, right?
We do, but in an odd way. One of the Norwegian chains use Spar as a brand for some of their stores.
Interesting. Where can I read more about this? Searching for SPAR and Norway seems to suggest that it’s just a regular part of SPAR.

Interesting. I guess they just license the brand in that case.
Don’t worry about the Norwegian, it’s mutually intelligible with Swedish
Yeah, your nick gives you away, it I didn’t think about that when writing that 😁
