Alnatura currently operates 107 supermarkets in Germany, each with 500 to 800 square meters of retail space, mainly in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. The company's first supermarket opened in Mannheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg on October 1, 1987.[2]

Products of Alnatura are also marketed in the stores of dm-drogerie markt and Tegut. These cooperations make half of the revenue. In 2012 Alnatura began to cooperate with Migros in Switzerland.[3] Their newest collaboration consists of setting up 30 new Alnatura branches throughout urban centres across Switzerland.[4]

In Luxembourg, Alnatura products are available at Cactus supermarkets.[5]

In 2014 dm decided to introduce their own organic brand which will replace the Alnatura products in the future.
