Topshop and Burberry are two British clothing stores operating in the US, off the top of my head. I'm surprised Harvey Nichols haven't taken the plunge and opened a store in the US yet.

I am hard pressed to think of any foreign conglomerates that operate in the US in the way they do in other countries.
Aside from desinger clothing stores like Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Burberry...... and Ikea.... I can think of nothing else.

Sofitel and Novitel are part of Accor, a French hotel group that also used to own Motel 6.

There's an Illy Espressamente shop in my neighborhood, whose parent company is Italian.

And all-American Budweiser beer is produced by a Belgian company.

And then of course there's Aldi, which operates its own stores as well as Trader Joe's.

The UK chain Fresh & Easy, owned by Tesco, opened a few dozen stores in the western US, but the financial crisis caused them to fail, and Tesco sold its US business to a US-based investment group. They're still branded "Fresh & Easy" though.
