Can you open a Walmart franchise in 2026?

No. Walmart publishes no franchise offer for the United States, and its fiscal 2026 annual report describes a company-operated base of 4,611 US stores. The only third-party arrangement inside a Walmart is a commercial lease of in-store space.

How much does a Walmart franchise cost?

There is no figure, because there is no offer and no Franchise Disclosure Document. Any amount circulating online corresponds to no published document. For brands that do franchise, the range appears in Item 7 of their current disclosure document.

Is Sam's Club a franchise?

No. Sam's Club is a membership warehouse division of Walmart Inc., with 601 clubs in 44 states and Puerto Rico. Membership at $50 or $110 a year is a consumer subscription, not an operating right.
