Walmart had a total of 10,955 retail stores throughout the world as of January 31, 2025. Additionally, the company operated 379 distribution facilities. In total, Walmart operated over 10,000 stores. The decrease in stores compared to 2021 is due to the fact that in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the company terminated its operations in the United Kingdom and Japan.
Walmart, formerly known as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is one of the most well-known and valuable brands in the world. Walmart began in the United States as a single discount store, whose model was to sell more for less. Nowadays, Walmart has discount stores, supercenters, and neighborhood markets around the world. The multinational company has developed into the largest retailer in the United States.
Powerhouse of retail in both domestic and international markets
Walmart deals in a wide variety of products, such as groceries, apparel, furniture, home appliances, and electronics. The company operates through three distinct business segments: Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and Sam’s Club. Walmart’s strongest segment, in terms of revenue, is Walmart U.S., which operates retail stores in the company’s domestic market of the United States. This segment also includes Walmart’s U.S. eCommerce website: walmart.com. The company’s Walmart International and Sam’s Club business divisions operate globally generating revenue through retail, wholesale, membership club, and online product sales. As of fiscal year 2026, around 19 percent of Walmart’s net sales came from the Walmart International division.
