Walmart decided to cease operations in Germany some time ago, but I don't know if all the stores have been closed yet (my guess is they have if Flying Lawyer says so).

Personally in the past I've been grateful to have the German version of Walmart (which wasn't an exact clone of the American store) available. I shopped many times at the Hamburg Walmart and was glad to have a store with good selection, prices, opening hours, and short waiting times at checkout.

I know Walmart has some minuses also. But I cannot be happy about thousands of people losing their jobs.

For any stores that were just re-branded, how do the new stores compare with the old?
