Някой знае ли има ли я тази верига в Европа?
Wal-Mart's international operations currently comprise 4,081 stores and 664,000 workers in 14 countries outside the United States.[61] There are wholly owned operations in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and
the UK. With 2.1 million employees worldwide, the company is the largest private employer in the US and Mexico, and one of the largest in Canada.
Sales in 2006 for
Wal-Mart's UK subsidiary, Asda (which retains the name it had before acquisition by Wal-Mart), accounted for 42.7% of sales of Wal-Mart's international division.
In contrast to Wal-Mart's US operations, Asda was originally and still remains primarily a grocery chain, but with a stronger focus on non-food items than most UK supermarket chains other than Tesco. As of 2010, Asda had 345 stores, some of which were former Woolco stores operated by the UK division of FW Woolworth. The stores are branded Asda Wal-Mart Supercentres, as well as Asda Supermarkets, Asda Living, George High Street and Asda Essentials stores.
Аз не съм виждал никъде в Европа, но както се оказва от справката, веригата в УК е купена от тях, но оставена със старото си име, за разлика от Канада, където като купиха Woolco Woolworth си сложиха и името на Walmart. УК не е континентална Европа де, но там е където присъстват.
