International Operations
Wal-Mart operates stores and clubs in 13 markets outside the continental U.S., serving more than 176 million customers around the globe each week. We believe our international stores have been successful because they are committed to offering working families overseas the things they need at prices they can afford – but we also go to great lengths to ensure our international stores reflect the local needs and want of our customers.
We also work hard to ensure our stores are seen as vital partners in communities. This approach is the reason Wal-Mart is being welcomed into country after country around the globe, and it’s also why for the tremendous potential that helps to continue rapid growth internationally.
