  • Walmart.com (started as a joint-venture, it has since been fully acquired and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart)
  • Sonae Distribuição Brasil (Brazilian operations) - now WMS Supermercados do Brasil.
  • Seiyu Group - Walmart acquired a 6.1% stake in Seiyu beginning in May 2002. A majority interest (53%) was acquired in December 2005, giving Walmart effective control of the company. Walmart's stake in Seiyu was increased to 95% in December 2007, and by June 2008 the remaining shares were acquired, making it a wholly owned subsidiary.
  • Walmart de México y Centroamérica - In December 2009, Walmart Mexico acquired Walmart´s operations in Central America from Walmart Stores and two minority partners. In early 2010, the transaction was completed and Walmart México became Walmart México and Central America. Walmart holds a 68.5% stake in the combined company.
    • Central American Retail Holding Company (CARHCO) - formed as a joint venture in 2001 with three equal partners: Royal Ahold NV and two Central American groups: the Paiz family, the major shareholders of La Fragua; and Corporación de Supermercados Unidos (CSU). In September 2005, Wal-Mart acquired a 33 1/3% interest in CARHCO from the Dutch retailer Royal Ahold NV. In March 2006, Wal-Mart made an additional investment, bringing its share of the firm to 51 percent and changing its name to Wal-Mart Central America.
    • Cifra - Walmart's operations in Mexico started as Walmex, a joint venture between Cifra of Mexico and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Wal-Mart later bought a majority interest in Cifra and changed the name to Walmart de Mexico. Walmex is independently traded on the Mexican stock exchange, although Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. holds a majority interest.
  • In January 2009 Walmart completed the acquisition of 58.2% of the leading Chilean retailer Distribucion y Servicio (D&S), adding brands of major importance in that market such as Híper Lider. By March 2009, Walmart had increased its stake in D&S to approximately 73%. D&S was renamed Walmart Chile. In February 2014 it was announced that Walmart had acquired the stock of the last major stockholders Mr. Felipe Ibanez Scott and Mr. Nicolas Ibanez Scott, bringing the Walmart stake up to 99.72%. It was announced that Walmart intends to launch a cash tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares.
  • In June 2011 Walmart completed the purchase of 51% of Massmart, which operates stores primarily in South Africa but also operates in various Sub-Saharan African nations. Brands added to the Walmart family include Cambridge Foods, Game, Dion Wired, Makro, Builders Warehouse, Builders Express, Builders Trade Depot, CBW, Jumbo Cash and Carry, the Shield buying group, etc.[14] In July the South African government filed an appeal [15] of the Competition Tribunal's decision to allow the merger with minimal conditions, this follows an appeal filed earlier by SACCAWU, a local labor union. By March 2012 the appeals court dismissed the case by the governmental ministries,[16] but acknowledge that there were legitimate concerns about the effect of the deal on small producers and employment. The appeals court decision effectively put an end to the legal challenges to the merger.
  • In October 2013 Walmart announced that it would end the 50/50 agreement with Bharti Enterprises. Bharti would operate its retail stores independently, and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc takes 100% ownership of the 20 Best Price Modern Wholesale cash and carry business operating in India.

Former operations

  • Broadstreet Financial Services Corporation (d/b/a Bank of Wal-Mart) was tentatively to be headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah and was to operate as an Industrial Bank to processing credit, debit card and electronic check transactions for the Wal-Mart stores. The bank was not to be open to the public and they did not intend to open or operate any branches. According to a Wal-Mart spokesman it was estimated that the company would have saved $245 million in costs by opening its own bank. On March 16, 2007 Wal-Mart announced that it had officially withdrawn its application with the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.[17]
  • Bud's Discount City[18] Bud's Discount City was a unique store as retail stores go. The store chain, associated directly with Wal-Mart itself, relied not on purchased goods for sale; but instead sold items which had been either a.) returned to a Wal-mart for exchange, b.) reconditioned items, such as electronics, or c.) items which had been discontinued and stock needed liquidated. Most Bud's Discount Stores (sometimes just called "Bud's") were located in old Wal-Mart store fronts, with the typical situation being a Bud's would replace the old storefront after Wal-Mart had constructed a newer store for its main Wal-Mart storefront. As Wal-Mart transitioned from selling items they themselves purchased, to a business model where vendors rented floor space, the need for an outlet store to deal with defective and discontinued items phased out. As a result of this, the Bud's Discount City chain was phased out.
  • dot Discount Drugs[19]
  • Helen's Arts and Crafts
  • Hypermart USA (joint venture, prototype store that led to Supercenters)
  • McLane Company (acquired in 1990, sold to Berkshire Hathaway in 2003)
  • OneSource nutrition centers[20]
  • Save-Co Home Improvement Center
  • Walmart Vacations its unknown when it closed
