HB tried to break into Europe in 2017 and rented some prime real estate in NL, which were former Vroom & Dreesman stores. Vroom & Dreesman, a Dutch HB equivalent, went bankrupt in the same shrinking market and after been robbed empty by a PE ( Bain IIRC ). It was a strange move, a bit of we are losing money on every unit, let's make it up by volume. They were gone by 2019.
