Wal-Mart Brazil ranks as the third-largest retailer in the world's fifth-largest country. Since entering the market in 1995 with just two supercenters and three SAM'S CLUB warehouse stores, Wal-Mart Brazil (WMB) has grown, mainly by acquisition, to number about 315 supermarkets and hypermarkets in more than 15 Brazilian states, including the populous economic center of São Paulo.
