US giant Walmart is to set up a London team to launch into Europe.
According to the Independent on Sunday, Walmart will bring a team to London to look at opportunities for European takeovers and mergers.
Walmart, which owns Asda, has hired Cushman & Wakefield to search for office space in west London to house around 35 to 55 people.
A spokesman said: “We are always looking for business opportunities all over the world.”
Walmart boss Mike Duke said last week: “Walmart International continues to be the growth engine for the company, increasing sales at 11.5%.”
Walmart is currently agreeing a deal to take over Massmart in South Africa.
