For over 30 years, retail sector growth was dependent on the shopping sprees undertaken by global consumers. However, the increase in the popularity of internet shopping could force one of the world’s largest retailers to cease any plans for expansion.

Everyone knows that Wal-Mart is a discount general merchandise retailer. Founded less than 40 years ago, it is the largest, most profitable and one of the most admired companies in the USA. Every year, the company experiences billions of dollars in sales. As of January 2003, the company operated over 4,300 stores, of which more than 1100 were outside the USA. They are located in Mexico, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Wal-Mart operates stores in several different formats apart from its original general convenience layout. Some are super-centers which is a combination of a supermarket and general merchandise store. Some are members-only warehouse stores, selling high volumes at very low individual profit margins. Some, yet again, are smaller, neighborhood-type markets with a focus on groceries, in carefully chosen urban locations.
