Too much competition for the Americans. A too dangerous place for Uncle Sam in boring old Europe. Now they can shortchange the people in their own homecountry. I will not miss the two Walmarts in Munich. The Walmart in the Boschetsrieder Strasse is the most shitty place I know. Fucked up building, installation and equipment.

Good bye! [/LIST]

Re: Walmart in Germany shows the white feather.

Re: Walmart in Germany shows the white feather.

what do you want when they have to compete with groups like Metro?

Re: Walmart in Germany shows the white feather.

theres a lot more reasons why wal mart didnt succeed in germany, a lot of them which can be attributed to the fact that wal mart put american managers into their german stores which made a series of cultural blunders that turned the german people off of wal mart.

Do belgians have the name "fritz" for germans too? i know that russians like to call germans "fritz", but besides the grandpa of a friend i don't know anyone with that name.

as for walmart, from time to time i like to go shopping in that huge motherfucker of a store, but normally i prefer smaller discounters.
