WAL-MART
Introduction to Wal-Mart:

Wal-Mart Stores is an American public multinational corporation that runs a chain of large discount department stores and a chain of warehouse stores. Wal-Mart has 8,500 stores in 15 countries, with 55 different names.

Walmart remains a family-owned business, as the company is controlled by the Walton family.

Unlike many other retailers, Wal-Mart does not charge a slotting fee to
suppliers for their products to appear in the store. Instead, it focuses on selling more popular products and provides incentives for store managers to

drop unpopular products, as well as asking manufacturers to supply more


popular products.
