Quite some of the companies in these three lists are American so they might not be the best eu alternatives, but still wanted to share these three lists.

Waterstone's (and now Blackwells as Waterstones bought them) are majority owned by an American investment company with a minority shareholder being a Russian billionaire.

In April 2018, Elliott bought a majority stake in Waterstones, leaving Alexander Mamut's Lynwood Investments with a minority holding.[80] The sale completed in May 2018. James Daunt will remain as chief executive.[81]
