Global: Q3 Strategic Changes • South Africa: First ‘pop-up’ shops, as well as concessions within other Massmart/WMT banners. • In October, three standalone George ‘pop-up’ stores started trading at the CrestaShopping Center in Johannesburg, Galleria Shopping Mall in Amanzimtoti and Cape Gate Shopping Center in Cape Town. The pop-up stores showcase an edited selection of the George range and will continue operating for up to three months. • Walmartis also introducing the George clothing brand to its South African stores. The company will also stock George baby clothes and George essentials at Game outlets, as well as babywear at Makro from November onwards. • Dubai: First franchised standalone store. • In October, George opened its first store in Dubai. The 6,588 sqft store is located in the Al Ghurair shopping mall. It was developed in partnership with Azadea Group, which is helping Asda’s own label fashion brand’s expansion in the UAE. • By the end of October, George had opened eight stores across the Middle East and UAE over the course of a year. A ninth has since opened in Malta. Walmart already sells Asda’s George brand across its various banners in the US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, China and Japan. In Europe, where WMT has a limited store footprint, it services orders through George.com.

  5. US Expansion: WMT plans to add 19-21 million sqft of new space to its US business in 2014 (fiscal 2015). One years’ space for WMT is more than many other operators entire existing floor space. • 4. Outlook Walmart will establish nearly as much new space in the US next year as Sainsbury’s (the second-largest player in the UK) has established in its 144-year history.
