About Walmart
Walmart runs large-scale retail operations that sell everyday goods to shoppers both in stores and online. Its shelves cover groceries, household essentials, health and beauty items, apparel, electronics, home and garden goods, and automotive services, making it a place customers turn to for routine shopping rather than a single specialty. It also runs pharmacy, optical, and hearing services, and sells several of its own product lines, including Allswell, Athletic Works, Equate, and Free Assembly.
The business is split into three main arms: Walmart U.S., Walmart International, and Sam's Club, the last of which operates as a membership warehouse format. Stores take several shapes, from supercenters and neighborhood markets to cash-and-carry outlets, and are complemented by online storefronts such as walmart.com.mx, walmart.ca, and Flipkart, along with mobile apps. Alongside merchandise, Walmart offers financial services like money transfers, bill payment, check cashing, prepaid cards, and lending, extending its reach beyond traditional retail.
