List of supermarket chains in Romania

This is a list of supermarket and other retail chains in Romania . The concept of supermarkets or hypermarkets came to Romania after 1989 and most supermarkets are made up of joint ventures between Romanian and foreign investors. Since 2000, there has been a strong growth in the number of supermarkets in the country, particularly in Bucharest and other main urban areas.

Column-generating template families
