Walmart in Virginia

Every figure in this block is measured inside Virginia. Nothing in it is a rate.

• The two counts above are measured differently and are both correct. Index records in Virginia is a presence snapshot of what operates there now; index opening records counts what opened inside the tracked window. A chain that already had 40 locations in Virginia and opened none reads 0 openings.
• It is a count of OPENINGS, not of stores. Openings are diffs against the previous release, so a mature operator that finished its Virginia buildout before the window opened shows a large location count and no openings at all.
• The index files Walmart's departments and facilities as separate records — pharmacy, fuel, optical, service and charging points each count as a location — so the record count is not a store count. Net new stores, growth and the quarterly pace are withheld rather than published in a unit they were not measured in.

Cities with index opening records recorded for Walmart in Virginia. The count beside each city is its openings — not its total Walmart index records.

• 0 cities with index opening records in Virginia.
• Spellings are folded the same way the city URLs are built, so "St. Louis" and "St Louis" are one city rather than two. The most frequent raw spelling wins the label; "Spellings folded" is how many the index actually holds.
• Cities are NOT linked: a city page is published only where at least three brands clear the floor, so a link from here would frequently point at a page that does not exist.

The brand's whole published footprint, largest first. Virginia is highlighted in place.

• A state appears here only with at least 3 index records. States below the floor are in the index but have no page, so this total is smaller than the national count.
• Index records are a presence snapshot at the Q3 2026 release. They are not openings and they are not a change.

Context for the local figures above. None of it is a Virginia number.

• Every figure in this block is NATIONAL. It is identical on all 49 of Walmart's state pages and is not apportioned to Virginia — dividing a national percentage into a state is not a fact about anything, which is why no Virginia growth rate is published anywhere on this page.
• Openings are individually dated records new to the index; net new is the difference between two count snapshots. The two answer different questions and rarely match.
• The index files Walmart's departments and facilities as separate records — pharmacy, fuel, optical, service and charging points each count as a location — so the record count is not a store count. Net new stores, growth and the quarterly pace are withheld rather than published in a unit they were not measured in.

The national count series behind the figures above. Both readings of it — the raw count and the indexed one — are columns here.

• Indexed values rebase the series to 100 at the first vintage with a non-zero count. A brand first measured at zero enters at 0 and reaches 100 one step later.
• National figures. Not apportioned to any state.

Each row is the difference between two consecutive releases, so there is one fewer step than there are quarters above.

• Steps are irregular, so a pace is openings divided by the step's real length and multiplied by 91 days rather than a raw quarterly count.
• A batch-suspect share above half means the records were created on an index-wide vendor ingest day or bunched into a few days of the step; it impeaches the timing, not the existence of the stores.
• National figures. Not apportioned to any state.
