Walmart in Mexico

Walmart de México is the largest retail company in Mexico, with over 3,000 stores including Bodega Aurrera, Sam’s Club, Walmart Express and Walmart Supercenter, as well as an ecosystem of services and solutions.


Walmart de México has undergone a significant shift, evolving from brick-and-mortar to an omnichannel company, bringing together stores, products, services and solutions, to meet and anticipate customers’ needs in a rapidly evolving local retail market.


With the purpose of helping people save money and live better, we have listened to our customers to identify those services around the omnichannel shopping experience that are most valued and aligned with their needs. We then built an interconnected ecosystem that allows our customers to find products and services without friction, in addition to giving them access to new opportunities in the digital economy.


Walmart de México's ecosystem offers solutions for Internet and mobile phones, education and health and financial services.

Our Business

Walmart de México

Walmart's first store outside the United States opened in Mexico in 1991 – a Sam's Club in Mexico City. In 1997, Walmart acquired a majority position in Cifra, and in 2000 the name changed to Walmart de México. Walmart Mexico is also a publicly traded company on the Mexican Stock Market known as Walmex.


Walmart Mexico celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. It currently operates Walmart hypermarkets, Bodega Aurrera discount stores, Superama supermarkets, Walmart Express supermarkets, and Sam’s Clubs.


These formats are uniquely positioned to offer customers nationwide a local shopping experience that meets their needs with low prices, large assortment and high quality products, in close proximity to customers’ homes. Our stores across Mexico and Central America offer a convenient shopping experience, including home delivery and pickup services in many locations.

Bodega Aurrera

Bodega Aurrera’s mission is to offer everyday low prices to customers, focusing on basic and essential products. The brand has positioned itself as an affordable option for middle- and low-income Mexican families, providing a wide range of products, from food to household items. Over the years, Bodega Aurrera has expanded its presence across the country with various formats, including Mi Bodega Aurrera and Bodega Aurrera Express, designed to meet local needs.
