Walmart originated from a chain of [[Ben Franklin (company)|Ben Franklin]] variety stores operated by {{w|Sam Walton}} in northwest Arkansas. The first Wal-Mart Discount City store opened on July 2, 1962 in [[Rogers, Arkansas]] (it has since been replaced by [[Walmart Supercenter 1|Walmart Supercenter #1]] nearby).<ref>[http://pleasantfamilyshopping.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-2-1962-first-walmart-opens.html "July 2, 1962 - The First Walmart Opens"], Pleasant Family Shopping, July 3, 2012.</ref> With the sale and closure of the company's remaining Ben Franklin Family Centers and Sav-Co Home Improvement Centers in 1978, Wal-Mart Discount City became the company's only store format until the first [[Sam's Club]] stores opened in 1983. The number of [[Walmart Discount Store]]s, as they are now known, peaked at 2,133 in 1996 and has since declined to 439. The average Walmart Discount Store in the United States has a floor area of {{convert|105000|sqft|m2}}.<ref name=2020-annual>[https://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_financials/2020/ar/Walmart_2020_Annual_Report.pdf Walmart Inc. 2020 Annual Report], via q4cdn.com.</ref>
