In Slovenia, Mercator is the dominant local "hypermarket" chain; it also owns many small stores. In recent years, the company has expanded well into Southeastern Europe.
Here's a typical Slovenian Mercator:

Mercator's biggest Slovenian competitor is Tuš
(which operates multiplex theaters in addition to hypermarkets). Like Wal-Mart, it also has its own gas pumps in some locations. This is the company's hypermarket/mall hybrid in the town of Celje, called Planet Tus:

Foreign hypermarkets in Slovenia include Interspar and Leclerc, but not Wal-Mart or Carrefour.

Here we call them "supermarkets"... and we have wal-mart(of course), Superstore(A canadian chain that is actually still challenging walmart quite well 
), Co-op, IGA, safeway, Sobey, hmm... cant think of more at the moment... i suppose you could also list department stores like eatons (not many left at all), the Bay (oldest company in North America-Canadian), and zellers.
There might be more, but at this moment that is all i can think of.
I don't have picture of the ones here though... they recently just built 2 new superstores that are actually quite nice, as well as 2 new walmarts, a new iga and another one that is just a few years old... there has been a lot of development here lately, but on the outskirts of the city, not too much in the city centre .
