How to Say “Walmart” in French

Walmart
The English phrase "walmart" is translated into French as Walmart.
The term refers to the large American multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of hypermarkets and discount stores.

Did you know?

  • In France, the term walmartisation is used by sociologists and journalists to describe the perceived threat of American-style big-box retail displacing small local shops.
  • The concept of a 'hypermarket' (the type of store Walmart operates) was actually popularized in France by the brand Carrefour before spreading globally.
  • Because France values the commerce de proximité or 'neighborhood trade', referring to a Walmart-style store can sometimes carry a negative social connotation.
