carosio Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I liked the one at Hillsboro, it was like a cross between a small supermarket and a market stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 i went it yesterday to have a look around, much the same as it was when it was at lane top. they were giving away freebies of buns and chocs and the kids were given small lego toys.

sheffandy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Anyone else feel that Netto turned their nose up at the UK market and shut up shop? Now, after a few years away, they've seen the success of discount retailers like Aldi overtaking the big boys like Tesco and they come crawling back hoping to jump onto the coat tails of the hard work done by Aldi & Lidl. Hope they fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they fail. I think they had a stroke of genius selling out to Asda when they did. Got them out of a lot of expensive rent agreements. Got plenty of cash for there Danish parent company. Now with the amount of empty shop units the must have got a good deal on the rents. I might be wrong correct me if you have another theory lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 hard work done by Aldi & Lidl. None. They were the chains who tried to muscle in and cream-off the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korky Kat Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 We used to see a guy with a Netto T shirt on under his open denim shirt, one day he took off his denim shirt and the word was actually Benneton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong correct me if you have another theory lol In a very unusual move with Aldi and Lidl trying to appear more upmarket and appeal to "posher" people maybe there is a gap again in the market for a cheap store like Netto. I think much of it is PR though, my local Lidl is still in a very rough area frequented by scruffs in their PJs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
