Walmart
Walmart was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton when he and his brother James “Bud” Walton opened the first Wal-Mart Discount City in Rogers, Arkansas. Since then, Walmart has grown to become the largest publicly-owned retail company in the world. In 2024, the retailer reached around 648 billion U.S. dollars in revenues, and about 643 billion in net sales.
Store count
Walmart had a total of 10,616 retail stores throughout the world as of January 31, 2024. The company also operated 368 distribution facilities. In total Walmart operated 10,984 stores. Compared to 2021, there was a significant drop in the number of stores due to the fact that in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the company terminated its operations in the United Kingdom and Japan. In the U.S. alone the company totaled 4,615 locations, of which 3,560 were supercenter stores and 695 were neighborhood markets.
