An offline giant can also be an online giant
Walmart, Inc. is the largest retail corporation of discount department and warehouse stores in the world. Though it now operates in 27 countries, Walmart had humble beginnings in the 1960s in Bentonville, Arkansas. The retail chain offers low prices and a wide selection of products, which has given Walmart an edge over the competition. As of the 2019 fiscal year, the company operated more than eleven thousand stores throughout the world and this figure is more than likely to increase as the company continues to expand into emerging markets.
