Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Sales Preparation

Wal-Mart Stores is an irresistible (or at least unavoidable) retail force that has yet to meet any immovable objects. Bigger than Europe's CarrefourMetro AG, and Tesco combined, it's the world's #1 retailer with some 2.2 million employees. In the US, Wal-Mart operates more than 4,000 stores, including 3,000-plus Supercenters that sell groceries and general merchandise, 610 Sam's Club warehouses, and a growing number of smaller format stores. The company's faster growing international division (28% of sales) numbers more than 5,600 locations; Wal-Mart is the #1 retailer in Canada and Mexico and has operations in Asia (where it owns a 95% stake in Japanese retailer SEIYU), Africa, Europe, and South America.
