Aldi on Mallorca: Expansion with Opportunities — and Open Questions

Answer

What kind of local rules could help supermarket growth in Mallorca?

Municipalities could set conditions for land use, loading zones, public transport access and waste handling before approving new stores. Local product quotas and support for cooperatives would also help small producers benefit from expansion instead of being pushed aside. The goal would be to keep convenience for shoppers without weakening Mallorca’s local economy.
