jwfr0uqOnly in Denmark would Irma be a “high end” supermarket. Literally anywhere else would it be a regular one

jwft3otLiterally is a word that not mean what you think it means. 200 territories in the world, name 10 that have better supermarkets than Irma and I'll name you 125 that don't.

jwgldu8Those numbers are weird and your proposition is weird.

jwgvbksLol you're clueless let me spell it out: what countries do you consider to have better supermarkets, this is getting ridiculous get a grip man.

jwg0953Name 125 territories (whatever that is?)

jwg7amhYou made the claim, you defend it.
Territories are similar to countries, just with slightly different status. Like Faroe Islands is considered a territory not an independent country.

jwgt3avIs Irma more "high end" than Meny? I always thought the unique thing about Irma was that they have a couple of unusual wares that you wouldn't find other places.
That being said it's mainly the quality of discounters that creates this rift. In Germany ALDI is often about as good as EDEKA really but the Danish ALDI absolutely sucks ass and some basic wares are twice as expensive as in a German ALDI (this is the same for Lidl but at least the Danish Lidl is not quite as sad as Danish ALDI).
In Denmark you really only have 3 kinds of supermarkets (that focus on food and don't try to be a mini-hypermarket): Spar, Meny and Irma and maybe Føtex Food I guess which feels like a more expensive Netto. And because the Discounters kind of suck, the supermarkets will usually seem better and take a major markup for that - while in Germany EDEKA is actually pricing stuff rather agressively and competing much more directly with ALDI and Lidl.
That being said Irma would probably be something rather like Alnatura or whatever in Germany because Supermarkets and Discounters feel less different.
