The Number of Wal-Marts by State

WM_locations_WM_WATCH.gif

The above map was taken via Wal-Mart watch. However, the data used to create it appears out of date, since there are more stores now than then:

At January 31, 2004, we operated in the United States 1,478 Discount Stores, 1,471 Supercenters, 538 SAM’S CLUBs and 64 Neighborhood Markets. Internationally, at January 31, 2004, the Company operated units in Argentina (11), Brazil (25), Canada (235), Germany (92), South Korea (15), Mexico (623), Puerto Rico (53) and the United Kingdom (267). We also operate through joint ventures in China (34). Additionally, we hold a 37.8% interest in Seiyu, a Japanese retail chain which operates approximately 400 stores throughout Japan.
Only 32 NM's are in the data...

But, these same data were used three weeks ago to answer a question on Google Answers; for $10 and another $10 tip, the old data were and placed into an Excel spreadsheet summarizing the number of Wal-Mart's, Supercenters, Sam's Clubs, and Neighborhood Markets in the US, as of an unknown date.
