The Supermarket That Outsmarted Walmart

Mercadona grew from a family’s butcher shops into one of Spain’s biggest supermarket chains. Behind that growth is a series of unexpected decisions: removing a thousand products, rethinking how employees work, and even changing the lid on a jar of hand cream. This documentary explores how those decisions shaped Mercadona’s business, what its promise of “always low prices” requires behind the scenes, and what its success means for the suppliers filling its shelves.
