Walmart makes landmark investment in stores
Walmart announced a $6 billion investment to open additional stores across Mexico, something it said was a long-term commitment to the region.
The investment is intended to open stores under a host of trusted banners in the market: Bodega Aurrera, Sam’s Club, Walmart Supercenters and Walmart Express.
The new builds will add to an already impressive footprint, with 3,200 stores in operation across nearly 700 municipalities in all 32 Mexican states.
Walmart officials estimate the new locations should generate as many as 5,500 direct jobs for people throughout the country, adding to the more than 200,000 direct employees already a part of Walmart of Mexico and Central America.
