I have! There's a Super Walmart near my house. It's huuuuuge.
Tell me about it, Walmart also owns and operates Sam's Club warehouses.
Ahh my parents have a Sam's Club membership! I didn't know they were owned by Walmart. Does Walmart own anything else?
I'm not sure that they own any other companies but I do know that they alter their name in different countries. An example is Walmart de Mexico.

I'm not sure of all the countries that have Walmarts but they have 11,703 stores in 28 different countries.
Wow...I feel like they really don't need that many stores lol Sometimes I feel bad because Walmarts seem to take over the smaller businesses.
