Walmart is also the largest retailer in the U.S., with about $500 billion in domestic retail sales across more than 5,200 locations.
The company has come a long way since Sam Walton opened his first grocery store in 1962 in the city of Rogers, Arkansas, which is just a few miles down the road from its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.
