But, how did Walmart become a global phenomenon? Well, it all started in the 1990s when the company began to expand its operations beyond the United States. Today, Walmart has a presence in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with a diverse range of formats, from supercenters to discount stores. And, with over 12,000 stores worldwide, you're never too far from a Walmart!
In Canada, for example, Walmart operates under the Walmart Canada banner, with over 400 stores across the country. And, in Mexico, Walmart is known as Walmart de México y Centroamérica, with a massive 2,400 stores and a workforce of over 200,000 employees. That's a lot of tacos and tequila being sold!
