Worldwide, Wal-Mart had 2.1 million employees (known as "associates"), who served more than 200 million customers each week.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, Wal-Mart's net sales were more than US$405 billion. Exhibit 1 presents a summary of Wal-Mart's 2009 and 2010 financial statements. Wal-Mart's strategy was to provide a broad assortment of quality merchandise and services at "everyday low prices." It was best known for its discount stores, which offered merchandise such as apparel, small appliances, housewares, electronics and hardware, but also ran combined discount and grocery stores (Wal-Mart Supercenters), membership-only warehouse stores (SAM'S Club) and smaller grocery stores (Neighborhood Markets). In the general merchandise area, Wal-Mart's competitors included Sears and Target. In terms of specialty retailers, its competitors included Gap and Limited. Department store competitors included Dillard's, Macy's and J.C. Penney. Grocery store competitors included Kroger, Supervalu and Safeway. The major membership-only warehouse competitor was Costco Wholesale.
