Walmart is a multinational retail corporation founded by Sam Walton, an American businessman, and entrepreneur. The first Walmart opened its doors in 1962, and by 2020, it had grown to become the world’s largest company by revenue and the world’s second-largest employer. Although the company is based in the United States, it reaches millions of customers from other parts of the world, including China, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada, among others. In addition to being one of the largest retailers in the United States, Walmart is also one of the most popular eCommerce platforms. One of the best things about the Walmart eCommerce platform is that it offers a selection of products that can be found both in stores and online, making the brand accessible to anyone from different parts of the world.

Walmart Brand History
The Walmart brand was founded in 1950 as “Walmart Black Friday,” which was a one-day sale on a wide range of products. That was when Sam Walton bought a store from Luther E. Harrison in Bentonville, Arkansas, and opened Walton's 5 & 10. However, as time went by, the company was rebranded and was professionally launched in 1962 with a single store in Rogers, Arkansas, that had grown to every state in the United States and Canada by 1995, as well as its first supercenters in the 1980s. And now, which is the recent history of the brand, Walmart has immensely increased, and now boasts of owning more than twelve thousand stores in 30 different countries. Impressive!
