Walmart is an American retail brand that has grown from a single discount store opened by Sam Walton in Arkansas in 1962 into one of the world’s largest retail businesses. Through physical stores, e-commerce and digital services, Walmart combines everyday shopping with technology while remaining closely associated with value, convenience and broad product choice.

About Walmart

Walmart’s story began in Rogers, Arkansas, in 1962, when founder Sam Walton opened the first Walmart store around a retail model centered on lower prices and customer service. The company incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in 1969 and later expanded across the United States and into international markets.

Over time, Walmart evolved beyond its traditional store network by investing in e-commerce, mobile technology and services that connect digital shopping with physical retail.
