It acquired several already-established retail and clothing chains, such as Aurrera, Suburbia and Superama. These had the logistics and real estate needed to get a foothold in Mexico. Walmart also took advantage of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), which allowed it to import several products at discount rates: e.g. its "Great Value", "Extra Special" or "World Table" own brands.

With lower prices and existing logistics, Walmart was able to out-compete several local chains, including Grupo Gigante and Comercial Mexicana, which were later acquired by Walmart's current competition: Grupo Soriana (local brand) and Costco Inc.
