Over several decades Walmart expanded across the United States and into multiple international markets, building an extensive distribution and logistics footprint to support high-volume retailing. Its operations encompass retail store management, supply chain and distribution centers, technology and e-commerce infrastructure, and membership services through Sam’s Club.
