Walmart Bullish on Canada

Walmart (Bentonville, Ark.) is making a big investment in its Canadian business this year, with plans to open 29 SuperCenters by next January.

The company announced Wednesday it will spend about $340 million Canadian dollars, or $240 million, on the SuperCenters and also expand its distribution network in Canada to support food and e-commerce growth on its website, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

The new SuperCenters will bring Walmart's store count in Canada to 396 by the end of 2016.
