Romania still has at least one local supermarket chain I can think of: Oncos. I’m not sure how many locations they have outside of Transylvania, though.

Sadly, Romania’s competitiveness in building its own businesses in Europe is weakened by being left out of Schengen. Considering that Mark Rutte’s party just won reelection in the Dutch elections, sadly nothing is likely to change on that front for years – he is the biggest force vetoing Romanian accession to Schengen.
