i have not read the full thread in detail, but in case no one has
 written it:

There are two german supermarkts with the same name "netto"!

The "black"  one https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki
/Netto_(Handelskette) is imho located more in the east of germany
 (not connected with the old DDR?) and the "yellow" one
 https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netto_Marken-Discount is more
 active in the western parts.

But there is no sharp geographic line!
