This figure is more than twice that of its closest rival, Kroger, which had about 7.2 percent of all sales. The business also owns its own in-house brand, Great Value, which is one of the nation's top-rated supermarket brands.[([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart|Wikipedia]])]

-The company's efforts in China, the United Kingdom and throughout South America have proven to be some of any retail chain's most lucrative international expansions (not just Walmart).

-Until 1995, the retail supergiant was not in every state. In fact, they were not even in the Northeast prior to 1990 (except for a single Sam's Club) or anywhere on the West Coast. Walmart subsequently opened several stores in California and Pennsylvania by the end of 1990. Not until the final location opened in Vermont in 1995 did they make it to all 50 states. Interestingly enough, the organization decided to expand domestically before moving to all 50 states.[([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walmart|Wikipedia]])]
