The Monster that is Migros


Okay, I'll stop complaining about Super Wal Mart now. I've never seen a single brand in so many seemingly disparate lines of business than a Swiss company called Migros. Take a look at what they have gotten into:

  • Migros: Supermarkets
  • LeShop.ch: Online supermarket
  • Migrol: Petrol stations
  • M-electronics: Electronic stores and internet music download service
  • OBI: (DIY) Do-it-yourself stores
  • FitnessPark: Fitness centres
  • Do it+Garden Migros: DIY stores and garden centres
  • Micasa: Furniture stores
  • MigrosBank: Bank (fifth-largest in Switzerland)
  • Golfpark: Public golf courses
  • Ex Libris: Bookshops
  • Migros Klubschule: Adult education centres
  • SportXX: Sporting goods stores
  • Eurocentres: Language schools
  • Frey: Chocolate manufactures
  • Migros Magazin: Sales magazine
  • Hotelplan: Travel / vacation company
  • Florissimail: Postal flower service
