Supermarkets in Italy

Does anybody know names of edge of town supermarkets with car parks in Southern Italy.

Wikipedia gives me a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_supermarket_chains_in_Italy which is pretty good.

Esselunga should. They do in the north anyway and are like a normal Sainsburys type supermarket like here as opposed to the Lidl type smaller shops. From what I remember spar and standa tend to be small and in towns. Upim is more a department store and some may have a small supermarket downstairs. Never been to Auchan or Carrefour in Italy but I would guess they'd be like the French ones so would have car parks?

Nearly every supermarket in the suburbs or out of town will have a car park. CONAD is a supermarket that I saw a lot of and it seems comparable to Tesco. If you tell us the city, or better, the comune where you're going, we could help you find somewhere?

It's hard to advise without knowing the desitnation because there are fewer chains with Tesco- or Sainsbury-like national coverage in Italy. I don't think you can find Esselunga, for example, in the south, nor Bennet, a hypermarket-type place I remember well.

Auchan looks to be nationwide and they advertise the facilities each store has. Go to the Punti Vendita section on their website.

Also had a look at the Conad site and they have the same details - go to Trova il suo Conad and select the Commune. Parcheggio means it has parking.

We want to do a shop at Brindisi, Lecce or Gallipoli.
