Is Walmart in the UK?

[tracym]

Well, Walmart owns a chain of stores in the UK called ASDA. ASDA is Britain's second largest supermarket, and while it started as its own brand back in 1965, the International Walmart Corporation acquired it in 1999. So it's the closest thing you're going to get to Walmart without actually visiting one!

Walmart is in the UK as an equity investment holder in the grocery chain Asda. Walmart originally acquired Asda in 1999, retaining its company name and marking Walmart's entry into the UK Market.
