International

Saving people money so they can live better — worldwide

In 1991, Walmart became an international company when we opened a Sam's Club near Mexico City. Just two years later, Walmart International was created.

We’ve created stores with different styles and formats to fit in with local customer needs, desires, and customs. More than 75 percent of our international stores operate under a different banner than Walmart. But, whether we’re Pali in Costa Rica, Todo Dia in Brazil, or Despensa Familiar in Central America, all of our stores share a common goal: Save people money, so they can live better.

Today, Walmart International is a fast-growing part of Walmart's overall operations, with 4,108 stores and more than 664,000 associates in 14 countries outside the continental U.S.
