Walmart is one of the popular American multinational chains of hypermarkets, as well as department stores, and grocery stores. As of writing, it is the world’s largest company by revenue (based on Fortune Global 500 in 2020) and the world’s largest private employer with more than 2.2 million employees.
It is a family-owned business controlled by the Walton family, yet it is a publicly-traded company. The retail super brand operates in multiple countries, including in Canada.
History of Walmart
As a former employee of the American department store JCPenney, founder Sam Walton first bought a branch of the then-mail-order Ben Franklin store from the Butler Brothers in 1945. He focused on selling lower-priced items to encourage higher-volume buyers.
He was able to pull it off despite the setbacks, including the lower profit margin. When the lease expired and the renewal does not reach an agreement, he moved to a new store in Bentonville, Arkansas. The new store was named “Walton’s Five and Dime.” It was October 31, 1969, when the company was incorporated as Wal-Mart, Inc., which changed later to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. In the following year.
Stock trading began as a privately held company in October 1970. Moving forward to 1988, Walton was replaced by David Glass as he stepped down as the CEO. Focusing on their operations in Canada, Walmart started their operations after the acquisition of Woolco Canada in January 1994.
