  • Russian-founded Mere is an ultra hard discounter, claiming to undercut the likes of Lild and Aldi by 30%. The method is clear. Yellow sheets of A4 stick to the side of pallets showing the name of the single SKU they contain and its price in bold, black font.
    The first Mere store in the UK, located on the site of a former Nisa in a quiet Ribbleton shop parade, has been stripped of luxuries like plastering and chiller cabinets in favour of exposed blockwork walls and a refrigerated cold room.
    It seems Mere’s only attempt at decoration has been a continuation of the colour yellow across signage, tills, wall paint and employee uniforms. In fact, the promotional materials in the exterior wall-mounted frames do not appear to have changed since Nisa occupied the space.

    it's a great concept, buying a lot of goods on pallets and then putting them directly in the store. thus one bypasses the eternal stupid advertising slips; where not even everything is available in the specified store in other markets. It would be better to take slower pictures of the individual products with the prices. Thanks for the video.

      They are planning to open Shops in Hungary however, as this is a Russian based Firm, Spain is at this moment very Hostile to Russian Firms and this could take 1-2 years before they can open in Spain . Slava Mother Russia !

      It looks cheap and that is the whole point. But remember Netto, that failed because it had a cheap reputation. Can these people make it work?
