The Arkansas-based retailer, the largest in the world, now has a branded store in South Africa.

The company says it will introduce a modern, spacious shopping destination that is designed to meet the evolving needs of local customers. 

“Customers will enjoy a wide and carefully curated assortment of quality products ranging from groceries and household essentials to electronics and apparel — all offered at Walmart’s signature Every Day Low Prices.” 

Walmart says it will stock brands such as Crumbs and Cream Cookie Ice-Cream, Pickle-in-a-Pouch, Sour Patch Kids, Col’Cacchio, Labubu, Catrice and Essence cosmetics, as well as several tech brands. 

There will also be a full deli with fresh produce, hot rotisserie chickens, and international aisles with confectionery and beverages from across the world.

The retailer hosted a walk-through of the space on Thursday, giving people a sneak peek at its offering.
