[5][6][7] Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.[8] (
/ˈwɔːlmɑːrt/),
doing business as Walmart, is an American
multinational retail corporation that operates a chain of
hypermarkets,
discount department stores and
grocery stores. Headquartered in
Bentonville, Arkansas, the company was founded by
Sam Walton in 1962 and
incorporated on October 31, 1969. As of July 31, 2016, Walmart has 11,539 stores and clubs in 28 countries, under a total of 63 banners.

Walmart is the
world's largest company by revenue, according to the
Fortune Global 500 list in 2016, as well as the
largest private employer in the world with 2.2 million employees. Walmart is a
family-owned business, as the company is controlled by the
Walton family. Sam Walton's heirs own over 50 percent of Walmart through their holding company, Walton Enterprises, and through their individual holdings.
[12] It is also one of the

US$478.614 billion sales in the U.S.

[15] and by October 1989, it had become the largest in terms of revenue.
[16] Geographically limited to the
South and lower
Midwest up to the mid-1980s, by the early 1990s the company's presence spanned from coast to coast*—*Sam's Club opened in New Jersey in November 1989 and the first California outlet opened in
Lancaster in July 1990. A Walmart in
York, Pennsylvania opened in October 1990, bringing the main store to the
Northeast.
