In Spain we have Bonilla a la vista, really good crisps, even Koreans are crazy about them. We also have snacks from Grefusa or Frit Ravish. And more crisps from eapinaler, El Gallo, Sarriegui and literally dozens of brands. Nearly all the regions have 6-7 good brans for crisps and there are hundreds of small brands in every area. Apart from the brands you can find at every supermarket.

Normal is a chain of shops from Denmark selling personal care and make up products at good prices. Also cleaning products, snacks and beverages.

Currently have shops in the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway), Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal. Most of the brands are from Denmark but also from Germany, United Kingdom and other countries. Here they have several Spanish brands but I suppose they will have brands from the country the shop is opened.
