Introduction

What is Walmart?


Since the opening on April 22, 2015, Walmart store # 3159 located in Teterboro, New Jersey, has been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of its customers. Their business is the result of Sam Walton's visionary leadership, who was the founder of Walmart in 1962. Over the lifespan of this store, they focused on helping customers and communities "save money and live better". This rich heritage defines who they are and what they do today.Walmart currently employs more than 1.5 million U.S. associates at more than 5,000 stores and clubs nationwide. Last year, they promoted more than 200,000 people to jobs with more responsibilities and higher pay. Walmart engages in the retail and wholesale operations in various formats worldwide. The Walmart brand is broken down into three segments; Walmart United States, Walmart International, and Sam's Club.
