Talk:Netto (store)

Reorganising?

Instead of having an article for every country, I suggest that the "country articles" should be reorganised in a history section.

I kind of like the idea of having at least a small section with specific info for each country. That does not exclude a history section, though. Thue | talk 20:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

France

From what I know, the French Netto isn't part of the Danish Netto-chain. I don't know how the page should be organized to reflect this, though. (By the way, there seems to be another chain called Netto in Germany, de:Netto (Marken-Discount)) Väsk 11:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

You're right, Netto in France has nothing to do with the Danish owned Netto. I've edited the page to reflect this.--A.szczep 08:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Store Numbers

Looking at the number of stores on the article and the number on the Netto UK Site. There are a few differences.

Not sure which is most accurate though, so I won't edit the numbers on here.

To view the details on the Netto site click the above link, and click About Netto in the bottom right corner.

Since Netto is a Danish store, I assume that the numbers on the Danish page are the most updated, and that the other country pages are translated from it. Thue | talk 07:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Arson

The Keighley store was destroyed by arson as well, in about 1998. Of course, before it burnt down baked beans were 7p. After it burnt down, they went up to 10p because they were cooked.

lol is that a joke or is it serious? if joking its funny

It is true that the Keighley store burned down, it moved out to Crossflatts while it was being rebuilt. The bean prices, though, were just a joke that were being passed around at the time. Kirun 19:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Request for info review

I've just had a look at this selection and I don't think it should belong in this article. This is the section

The cause has not yet been identified but it is believed to have been started by a faulty heater. The fire broke out at around 4am and firefighters from around the area were called to battle the flames. The fire was not completely put out until about 12pm. It is not yet known whether the building will be demolished and rebuilt. Netto is famously associated with good value but there is a definite negative connotation linked to the supermarket chain associated with cheapness, being mainly a food shop for the lower working class. It is becoming very popular with schoolchildren who often claim that a fellow classmate shops there, as to insult the receiver (due to Netto being known for its cheapness).

My view is that it is unescessary information and the negative connotation section is an indirect attack at Netto. I personally have never got that impression myself or heard those connotations and they do not need to be in this article surely? The schoolchild quote is again not needed in the article. This is an encyclopedia not a local news paper!!

Please let me know your views because I am tempted to remove it --Rboxer 11:05, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

No responses so I gather we are in agreement. If not please post a comment on my discussion page thanks! --Rboxer 11:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Sentence query

"The Choice by Asda was increase it smaller store portfolio" is what this says under the section on the United Kingdom. That is not a grammatical sentence and it does not make sense - can some one please clarify? Many thanks, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Danish for "nice"

I do not speak the Danish language, but I believe that "Netto" is Danish for "nice" - this would make an interesting start to this article. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Russia?

There are more than a few NETTO shops in Russia under the transliteration Нетто, it would be useful to have them mentioned here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.26.43.20 (talk) 12:35, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

I second this, I only know NETTO from Russia (I'm British). It's pronounced 'Netta' there. They have a website here http://www.netto-shops.ru/ If the Russian NETTO is not related to this page's NETTO there should be something on Wikipedia to avoid confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.156.171.212 (talk) 11:22, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
