Wal-Mart de México, S.A.B. de C.V., commonly known as Walmart de México y Centroamérica or Walmex, is a retail company that operates a portfolio of stores across Mexico and Central America. It serves consumers through a range of formats, including Walmart and Walmart Express supermarkets, Bodega Aurrera discount stores, and Sam’s Club membership warehouses.

Its business also includes e-commerce and digital shopping services, supported by store-based fulfillment and delivery capabilities.

Walmex traces its origins to Cifra, a Mexican retail company established in 1958.
