Walmart Germany

Walmart Germany was a hypermarket chain introduced in 1997 when they acquired the Wertkauf and Interspar hypermarket chains as an attempt to compete against other German hypermarket brands, But Walmart was way different compared to other hypermarket stores in Germany and Germans just didn't understand how Walmart worked. Many things affected Walmart Germanys downfall like work hours and their different ways of doing things like free bags and friendly greetings which Germans were not used to and disliked. This and the German economy have evidently led to Walmart Germanys downfall.
In 2006, Walmart Germany had about 85 stores and were at a loss of 3 billion dollars
