With Media Markt it constitutes MediaSaturn Holding, owned by the German retail trade company METRO. It is known for its slightly coarse German-language advertising slogan "Geiz ist geil!" ("Stinginess is cool!" in English; geil can also mean "horny").
With around 128 stores Saturn is one of the big players in German electronics retail business. It also has 11 stores in Austria, 12 in Poland, 4 in Hungary, 8 in Spain, 11 in Italy, 25 in France, 2 in Belgium and 4 in the Netherlands.
