As far as I can think of, the number of retailers with significant worldwide operations is very small. Costco and Walmart both have about 20% of their operations outside of North America. Uniqlo is 40% Japan, 30% PRC, 30% elsewhere. No real others come to mind.

How about Carrefour (53% outside of France), Aldi (owns Trader Joe's in the US)?

edit: 7-11?

IKEA is the big one that springs to mind for me.

Fair point.

Not sure Uniqlo should count though, lots of similar brands in fashion have massive global operation (H&M etc.).
