Walmart Canada
When Sam Walton opened his first Walmart, he was inspired by a simple goal – to help people save money so they could live better. That goal became a defining principle in everything Sam and his associates did and, in pursuing it, they changed the world. Walmart Canada is proud to be part of this legacy, opening its doors in 1994 through the acquisition of the Woolco chain. In more than 26 years since we first opened in Canada, we’ve lived up to Sam’s promise, and Canadians are better for it. Here’s the impact of the Walmart business in Canada:
- More than 400 stores in communities across Canada
- 1.5 million customers in-store daily
- 900,000 daily online customers @ Walmart.ca
- One of Canada’s largest employers with more than 90,000 associates
- Raised and donated more than $400 million to charities
- Ranked one of the Canada’s top 10 most influential brands
At Walmart, we are proud of our unique corporate culture. The reason is simple: it’s our values, which have guided and united us from the start.
