After the recent announcement of $16 billion investment in India’s largest online retailer Flipkart, Walmart Inc has announced that they will continue to grow its wholesale cash-and-carry business, taking the total number of stores to 50 in the next four-five years. The company has 21 stores and plan to open 50 stores in 4 to 5 years, as the plans are on the track. For the cash-and-carry business, Walmart currently operates in 9 states and 19 cities and the future expansion is focused on more or less the same geographies. At its 21 Best Price wholesale stores, Walmart sells everything from fast-moving consumer goods to furniture to other retailers and institutions. The expansion move of Walmart is also a business opportunity for the signage companies engaging in in-store branding, design and graphics projects.
