I need the number of domestic (i.e., U.S.) wal-mart stores in
operation for every year from 1991 to present. The number should
include normal Wal-Marts (discount stores)and Super centers (discount
stores with grocery). It should NOT include Sam's Club stores
(warehouses).

I don't care if the number includes their newer Neighborhood stores or
not, as long as it is marked as to whether the number includes
Neighborhood stores or not.

I need the sources to be attributable to something credible, i.e.
company or analyst reports, media reports, etc. It can be from a site
that bases Wal-mart, but only if that site sources a credible source.
