Yes...
Wave of Eastern European store openings: Slovenia (2005),
Hungary (2007), Poland (2008)
No competition of local discounters
Lidl&Plus started its aggressive expansion towards CEE
Sales growth decreased from 2000-2004 for Aldi
Romania in EU since 2007
Financial crisis started in 2008, good possibility for „hard-discounters“
In CEE: Romania is the largest country , #2 in terms of population
size, Bucharest is biggest city

Interview with Romanian:
first product that comes to mind is called mamaliga, it's similar to Italian polenta. It's a type of corn meal that they make into a moist cake like texture they eat. 2)Timesoreana and Ursus are the beers that come to my mind, also they love this type of juice called compot, which is fruit that has been boiled and they drink the extract juice from the boiling process. Interesting enough, not to many people tap into the retail market with this. It's usually made at home. one of there special dishes, and one of my favorites is Semale, which is rice and meat rapped in cabbage or wine leaves. Big shopping centers are in the cities and usually they have smaller outlets in the towns... villages have local stores called magazines... magazines are everywhere but less in the city and a little more frequent in the towns. I don't recall any big supermarkets in the suburbs, only outlets from them. In the cities, people are definitely into foreign products and is popular especially with the young generation. In the small towns and villages it is less... They are into home made stuff of their own... and believe that local is "natural." I would brand food items as "natural, fara chemical" ... without chemicals. How many times I heard that coming out of people... They also are into bland food... they think to many spices is unhealthy, and not natural. OHHH and they love this food called plecenta, which is a type of dinner pie either baked or fried with either cabbage, cheese, potato, pumpkin or meat. They all go to the stores whether privileged or not, however they are price sensitive. As for a product that would sell... I don't ever recall seeing canned Zeama (very popular soup, kind of like chicken noodle soup) or Bors (a type of vegetable soup... but that is moldova... not sure Romania.. I remember my Moldovan friends constantly asking for teeth whitening strips because they didn't exist in moldova, not sure about Romania... also Bick lighters don't exist in Moldova... I'll ask my friend in Romania, if he can think of a type of product he would sell in Romania...
they also are a tea drinking culture, and instant coffee
and the wine section should be bigger than the beer section

Aldi has rapidly grown in the UK which experts mostly attribute to the credit crunch. This growth stopped in 2009 leading to the conclusion that Aldi might have wondered too far away from its discounts roots.

In Austria, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 29 256 USD a year
In Hungary, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 15 240 USD a year
In the Slovak Republic, the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 17 228 USD a year
Here comes question no 2: in which aread do you recommend the adaption for Country Life in Vienna?
Special POD: Assortment: open vegetable/fruit bar -> picking fruits from a farmers market
Layout: country style
Services: special Bio e shop, ecological but not outdated!
Local adaption in the assortment. The assortment in CountryLife is unique and followes the customer aspiration of being a healthy person.The same target group can be found in Vienna. Though, so the assortment strategy should be maintained, though we should adapt some minor items based on the shopping preferences of Austrian people, local products from Austria: important bakery items (Cakes &Apple strudel), local wine
Price: Income level is Vienna is significantlyl higher than in Prague, so prices can be raised. People in Vienna are more willing to pay premium for health conscious food.
Advertising activities need to be adjusted: Language, more advertising since the brand name is not known. Not reveal the COO Czech Republic. Could bring disadvantages in brand perception. Positive that English brand name, but also online shp needs to be adjusted
