Walmart is the largest retailer in the world with around $500 billion in annual revenue and about 11,700 stores worldwide (including supercenters, wholesale warehouse clubs under the Sam's Club banner, and small-format stores across 28 countries). It is also expanding into the growing e-commerce channel, as evidenced by its acquisition of Jet.com in 2016 and the 2018 purchase of a 77% stake in Flipkart. Sales through this channel represent about 5% of its total revenue. Groceries and consumables account for roughly 60% of sales, with the remainder from general merchandise including fuel, hardlines, apparel, entertainment, and home goods. The firm is known for an everyday low price approach.
