    aldi and lidl created a fierce competition. I’ve seen walmart and spar straight up give up and leave. apparently they couldn’t compete. later aldi expanded to the US

      Spar is Dutch. I live close to the border and there used to be a Spar store but it is a Jumbo store now, also Dutch. And then of course there is Albert Hein. So it seems like Dutch people can handle the competition pretty well actually.

      In the UK we now have Tesco and Asda saying they will price match a few Aldi products. Few others might do this occasionally as well.

      Aldi responded with saying they price match Aldi on all their products.
