Shop Announcements Maternity

Though the company has recently discontinued distribution, the Announcements maternity line used to be one of the exclusive brands sold at Walmart stores around the country. Now available only through resale, this popular brand features stylish clothes for moms-to-be at very affordable prices.

In the mid-1940s, Arkansas businessman Sam Walton took the knowledge he'd acquired working at JCPenney for many years and ventured out on his own. After operating a Ben Franklin Store franchise for more than a decade, Walton opened the first Walmart Discount Store in 1962. The new company quickly gained traction and expanded beyond Arkansas within just five years. In the '70s and '80s, Walmart grew exponentially. In addition to opening stores across the country, the company went public and became the fastest retailer in history to reach $1 billion in annual sales. Over the last few decades, Walmart has continued to expand and diversify, and it is now one of the world's largest corporations. With more than 11,000 stores worldwide, Walmart has a presence in every major retail market in the U.S., U.K., China, South America, and Canada. Its discount stores and supercenters sell clothes for every member of your family--featuring both major brands and Walmart exclusives.
