Netto (store)

Netto is a Danish discount supermarket operating in several European countries. Netto is owned by Dansk Supermarked Group, which in turn is partly owned by the Maersk conglomerate. Netto also operates an express version of the store, known as Døgn Netto ("(24 hour) Day Netto"). Døgn stores offer the same service as regular Netto stores, with longer opening hours and higher prices.

In September 2009, Netto celebrated its 28th birthday, with special offers in store during the promotion.

In June 2014, Netto returned to the United Kingdom, with a joint venture with Sainsbury's, with the first store being opened in November 2014, in Moor Allerton, West Yorkshire.
