Walmart has more than 400 stores across Canada, with locations in every province and two of the country’s three territories.

But the stores aren’t spread evenly across the country.

Canada’s four largest provinces account for the vast majority of Walmart locations, while some parts of the country have only one or two stores.

At the other end of the spectrum, Nunavut is the only province or territory in Canada without a Walmart.

So which province has the most?

Ontario takes the top spot with 151 Walmart locations, according to location data updated Oct. 18, 2026.

That’s about 38 per cent of the 402 Walmart locations identified across Canada in the dataset.

Quebec comes in a distant second with 69 stores, followed by Alberta with 59 and British Columbia with 47.

Here is the full breakdown:

Ontario: 151

Quebec: 69

Alberta: 59

British Columbia: 47

Nova Scotia: 18

Manitoba: 16

Saskatchewan: 14

New Brunswick: 13

Newfoundland and Labrador: 11

Prince Edward Island: 2

Northwest Territories: 1

Yukon: 1

Nunavut: 0

And Walmart isn’t finished expanding in Canada.

The retailer announced a $6.5-billion investment in 2025 to expand its store and supply chain footprint over five years, including plans for dozens of new stores across the country.

New or planned Walmart locations have been announced in communities including Brampton, Kingston, London, Lindsay, Ottawa and Hamilton in Ontario, as well as Edmonton and the Calgary area in Alberta.

Some of the projects are entirely new stores, while others involve relocating or converting existing locations, meaning not every project will increase the overall store count.

Walmart’s own corporate count is slightly different from the October location dataset. The company listed 401 Canadian retail units as of July 31, 2026, including 345 Supercentres and 56 discount stores.

Walmart entered the Canadian market in 1994 through the purchase of 122 Woolco stores.

More than three decades later, the retailer has a presence in every province and two of Canada’s three territories, with further expansion already planned.
