No chains here, most of it small family owned shops. Don't forget trade was banned under Gaddafi rule in the 70's and 80's and all private business was ruined and the government got control on all the market, it was till 90's to allow private shops and bushiness to work again however most of the capital of the top businesses was lost by then and the cycle of the market has to take some time before we see something like chains again in Libya.

supermarkets? most of the markets here don't have any given names. actually, it's the name of a street that people remembers.. if there were names given, maybe it is written in arabic. you should ask your Libyan co-worker if s/he knows this.

Supermarkets ?  There are some that may be called like that:
Souq al Thalatha (at Mansoora) ... Souq al Mahari (Dahra)  ..  recently opened  Monoprix at Fernaj seems bit expensive
There are more, but smaller ones.
