Top 100 Retailers
Last week, we asked, How's Retail doing?. Yesterday, we visited the subject of Borrowing & Spending. Today, as we hear from many more retailers, we will contextualize it.
From an annual industry report, "Top 100 Retailers. The nation’s retail power players" comes the following list and table. The first shows the top 20 retialers by revenue. Note that this year, restaurants have been added to the mix, with Mickey Dees (MCD) clocking in at 16, Yum Brands (YUM) at 35, and Starbucks (SBUX) at 42.
What really stands out to me is how Wal-Mart (WMT) simply dominates the revenue portion of the US retail sales. They are just shy of doing 4X the next closest retailer, Home Depot (HD).

Amazingly thin margins, too.
