Basically I'm looking for different kinds of chain stores in other countries. The name of the chain/store would be helpul, the website even better. If anyone has any bright ideas on other ways to get this information I'd be a very happy man! Type/UK Equivilent Supermarket Chains (Tescos Asda) Pharmacy Chains (Lloyds, Moss) Catalogue Shops (Argos) Mail Order Catalogues (Great Universal, Grattans) Target countries USA Canada France Italy Belgium Austria Hungary Norway Sweden Denmark Finland Ireland Germany Greece Holland Czech Republic Portugal Switzerland Poland Iceland South Africa Australia New Zealand Cheers guys
huh? you want to know what chain stores we have in New Zealand... clothes appliances tyres petrol electrical goods emergency health care jewellery pet care shoes kitchenware pharmacy sports goods food dunno, just the same as anywhere - surely?
Pity you don´t want Spain. I could have helped you there. Anyway what about Carrefour which is French, though its here too. Here is the website: http://www.carrefour.com/ And Leroy Merlin, French again, though it is house/garden hardware rather than a supermarket. http://www.leroymerlin.fr/ Just in case you change your mind about Spain, there´s http://www.alcampo.es/ and: http://www.mercadona.es/ns/index.php
Although I can't recommend one, sounds like you need to find business directories dedicated to each country. That should save you some time. So rather than search for each type of business separately, look for a directory that will contain many of them. Perhaps there is a national chamber of commerce?
Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate those websites e10. I'm not looking for Spain as we have an exclusive distributor there.
What about trade publications? That'd be the fastest way to go - and search for "supermarket market share canada [or other name of country]"
Canada: - Canadian Tire - Tim Horton - Pizzadelic - Couche Tard - Jean Coutu - Metro - Provigo - IGA - Loblaws - Rona - Reno Depot etc., etc... If interested, I could send you a database including 1000's of canadian companies like that. How about a nice link to my website in exchange? Cheap no? I used to work for a canadian marketing company that was targeting companies like that. I believe the database has a few websites, along with emails of key employees as well.
No, it's for the company that I work for. We manufacture home blood pressure monitors, Tens machines and thermometers. We're planning on exporting directly to the larger stores instead of through distributors. Thanks for all the help so far guys!
MattUK, in S'pore, we have a store that sells such good known as Guardian Pharmacy which is under the umbrella of Coldstorage Group that is own by Diary Farm. website to coldstorage that I know is www.coldstorage.com.sg this is the biggest operation shopping mall for online and offline (in local area only). I knew afew of the directors, but it would most appropriate that you visit the site and press the contact us button.
Teh, I was trying to work out why you did not want England, then I saw your from England. Okey well I can't help unless you want more for England?
Yep, we've already got distribution in most UK pharmacies, thanks anyway Lister - thanks for that link, that's just the sort of thing I'm looking for!
Ok so you'd want pharmacies Life Pharmacy aka BeautyDirect Unichem Department Stores Kmart Farmers Warehouse They would be the main ones down here. People normally hire tens machines I think. Obstetric ones, definately but I'm not sure about the general sort. Sarah
