Great chart for USA but I also sell to almost 300 Walmart stores here in Canada. Walmart Canada bought the assets and many of the store locations of the Woolco / Woolworth’s chain in 1994. At that time only about 130 stores. Walmart Canada has more than doubled since then.Thought you should know !

Great website and map! I’m old enough to remember the vast variety of stores that were all over the nation. Today, shopping is extremely boring. All stores are the same now. With all the laws and censorship, young people are living in a very boring time and they don’t even know it.

What a great map!! Very cool (and kinda scary at the same time). Are those just Walmart stores? or does it include Sam’s club?
