2010 Largest Retail Companies of North America:

North America is the home of most of the world’s largest retailers, since the U.S. dominates the global retailing industry. Not only is the retail industry responsible for two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), U.S. retail companies have also established a presence on every continent.
Not only does the retail industry dominate other industries in the U.S., the retail companies that are based in the U.S. also dominate on the global retailing stage. Nearly one-third of the 250 largest retail organizations in the world are based in the United States. This is according to the 2010 Global Powers of Retailing report, which is published each year by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and STORES Magazine.
Based on revenue figures, five of the top ten retail companies in the world are U.S. retail companies. Thirty of the world's largest retailers are from the U.S., and 82 of the retailers on the entire Global Powers list of 250 retailers call the U.S. their home.
The U.S. companies ranked on this world’s largest list vary somewhat from the annual Fortune 500 list, which is generally focused on publicly traded U.S. retail companies. Included in this global ranking are privately-held companies, as well as government retail operations.
The number in the left column is the global ranking number assigned to the company, based on its sales figures, compared to other top retail organizations worldwide.
