Walmart has a lot of international locations all over the world. As of October 31, 2019, Walmart's international operations comprised 6,080 stores and 800,000 workers in 26 countries outside the USA. It is interesting that there are wholly owned operations in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and the UK. Walmart has 2.2 million employees worldwide. The fascinating company is the largest private employer in the U.S. and Mexico.
Walmart created a large expansion in Mexico in 2019. Walmart opened 134 stores in Mexico in 2019. This means that it was the biggest expansion in 6 years. This happens to be Walmart's biggest expansion in Mexico since 2013. Walmart now successfully runs 3,407 stores in Mexico. Walmart has more locations in Mexico than in any other country outside the USA. Most of the new stores belong to the Bodega Aurrera family of stores. This includes the small, no-frills Bodega Express that is cheaper and quicker to build than Walmart’s bigger stores.
It is interesting that the Bodega chain offers cheaper goods in agreement with Walmart’s "Everyday Low Prices" strategy. This way, Walmart competes with other marketplaces and wins satisfaction of low-income shoppers.

ReplyDeleteIgor Shoes has a lot of shoes that are made in Spain. Choose from Water Boots, Sandals, Sneakers, leather and Water Crabs for Boy and Woman 100% made in Spain. Since 1974, IGOR designs, manufactures and markets its collections of water boots, crabs and sandals, combining each season with its classic designs with others inspired by the latest trends in fashion. It seems that the comfort and the great variety of colors and models are since then the main protagonists under the label MADE IN SPAIN. Over the years, various expansions have been made to the shoe collections.
