Auchan's withdrawn ventures Auchan opened its first hypermarket in the United States in 1988 in Houston, Texas off the Sam Houston Tollway between Beechnut and Bissonnet streets. A second Houston location was opened in 2000 in a building just off the Interstate 610 (Texas), which had formerly housed a Target Corporation store. Right before Auchan had decided on a second location, there were 55 checkout stands which makes it the only store with the maximum number of checkout stands.
Auchan also tried opening a store in the Chicago market in 1989. The store was a large hypermarket in the suburb of Bridgeview, Illinois. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3092/is_n5_v27/ai_6416073 The store was not successful and was later bought by a local Chicago chain, Dominick's supermarkets and converted into an Omni Superstore by 1991. The Omni Superstore closed in 1997 when Dominick's decided to convert the Omni's to Dominick's Fresh stores. This move failed and most of the former Omni's were closed, which meant that the building that once housed Auchan would be closed for good. That building stood vacant for the next 9 years and was finally demolished in winter 2006. The building had numerous board-ups, cracked pavements, broken glass, and gang graffiti inside prior to demolition.
All locations were closed by March 2003, leaving Auchan with no presence in the United States.
Auchan opened a number of stores in Mexico; the first of these opened in Mexico City in 1997 and eventually grew to five stores. Faced with stiff competition from Wal-Mart, as well as local superstore chains Gigante and Comercial Mexicana, as well as French rival Carrefour (who also sold their stores and left the country in March 2005) , Auchan decided to sell their stores to Comercial Mexicana and withdrew from Mexico in early 2005.
Auchan has also ventured into Argentina and withdrawn.
