context_page_description: Netto is a Danish discount supermarket operating in Denmark, Germany, Poland, and previously in Sweden and the United Kingdom both as a stand alone venture, until its sale in May 2010 to Asda, and via a joint venture with Sainsbury's between June 2014 and July 2016. Netto is owned by Salling Group.
  Netto also operated a smaller express version of the store in Denmark, known as "Døgn Netto". Døgn stores offered the same service as regular Netto stores with fewer products, but longer opening hours and higher prices. In 2016, all Døgn Nettos were revised to normal Netto or Føtex Food convenience concept stores.
context_section_description: The Swedish part of Netto was founded in 2002, as a joint venture between Dansk Supermarked and ICA called Netto Marknad AB. The co operation was granted by the European Commission in 2001. The headquarters were established in Halmstad in March 2002, and the first store was opened in Trelleborg on 8 May 2002.
  A week later, two stores were opened in Lund. In the beginning, Netto kept their stores in the Götaland region. In August 2004, the first stores in Stockholm were opened. In October 2003, the head office moved to Falkenberg. By 2003, there were 28 stores. In 2004, there were 58 stores. In December 2007, there were 84, and in May 2009, there were 107.
  In November 2006, ICA announced it was pulling out of the joint venture, reducing its stake from 50% to 5%, today ICA no longer have any stake in the company. Twenty one stores in the Stockholm and Västerås regions would transfer to ICA ownership with most being rebranded to ICA's own formats during 2007.
  The reasons for the change were problems in supplying the stores based on Netto's more southern base as well as ICA's desire to focus investment on its own formats. On 10 May 2019, it was announced that Salling Group has signed an agreement with Swedish Coop Butiker & Stormarknader AB on the latter's purchase of the one hundred and sixty three supermarkets of Netto in Sweden.
