Sadly, for the Walmart fans, it is unlikely that we will see any Walmart franchises in the Netherlands in the near future. The European consumer market is notoriously difficult to break into as an outsider company.
Many grocery store chains have tried and consequently failed. You need an incredibly efficient company to succeed in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. This is due to the incredibly small profit margins compared to the relatively high running costs of grocery stores in this part of the world.
Ordering from Walmart, of course! For Walmart fans being able to shop online in their favorite store would be a dream come true, but is this possible? There is simply too little overseas demand for Walmart to go through the incredible logistic troubles and expenses to set up an international supply chain. Therefore Walmart prefers to stick to the US market, where they can use their incredible brand power and market majority to make money the easy way!
People have found ways to get around the system by having Walmart products shipped to Europe. This means that the Walmart order is shipped to a warehouse in the United States and from there can be distributed to the rest of the world, including the Netherlands. This is not easy and certainly not cheap, so it is not recommended that you try this method for yourself! Now we know that it will be a difficult, if not impossible, task to get Walmart products into the Netherlands since there are no stores and they do not ship internationally.
All that's left is to find alternative stores to Walmart in the Netherlands. So, let's look at some solid alternatives! To begin with, we look at the major supermarket chains such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo. These stores are the Dutch counterpart to Walmart, but in terms of similarities, they are quite far apart.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo stores are generally a lot smaller than Walmart stores, and the product variety is a lot lower in the Netherlands. If you are looking for the bare essentials, though, these are the stores you want to go to in the Netherlands!

Walmart arrived in the U. By early December of the same year Asda had opened its first Walmart-style megastore on the outskirts of Bristol, west of England. There was huge fanfare in Britain - the kind of excitement you would expect now if Amazon AMZN rolled out a megastore - as long opening queues formed in anticipation of huge discounts on everything from food to over-sized televisions.
Two decades on and the final chapter in the U. The relatively-unknown Issa brothers own EG Group, which operates more than 5, gas stations across the U.
Despite its huge success in the U. Walmart has had troubles abroad. Having bought two German supermarket chains, Walmart fell foul of German pricing regulations, clashed with local unions and found that German customers just didn't buy into cheery greeters and bag packers.
Despite opening stores in locations like Berlin, Walmart's German adventure was a disaster Photo by That same year, Walmart withdrew from South Korea, while its acquisition of Japan's Seiyu has been a bumpy ride largely defined by losses, job slashing and stores closures.
In fairness, Walmart has hunkered down and thanks to an e-commerce tie-up with Rakuten looks as though it may have turned a corner. The longer-term plan is to list Seiyu and retain a majority stake.
Now, Walmart's international travels are far from a disaster, because it has successfully established itself in numerous markets, including Canada, Central and South America.
