Unlike your claim about British restaurants, I never claimed anything about German ones.
It is more likely that Germany is used to sell entire parts of cities or drug store chains:

Not to mention all the ALDI stores (or ALDI-owned chains) you can find all over the world.
It does not really bother me if you make a big deal out of a few puny restaurants.
