This is from one of our readers, Merry Harris. Thanks Merry.

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam . Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands . HEMA also has stores in Belgium, Luxemburg, and Germany.

In June of this year, HEMA was sold to British investment company Lion Capital. Take a look at HEMA’s product page. Kind of reminds me of Target stores with a fun twist. it’s in Dutch but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. Don’t click on any of the products pictured, just wait and see what happens. And be sure you have your sound turned up.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, ya?

Perhaps reader Drew Fagan can tell us more about HEMA. His wife is Dutch and I am sure he must be familiar with this chain.
