Bompreço (Walmart Brazil) is a chain of supermarkets and hypermarkets in Brazil. Its name means "good price" in Portuguese. As of March 2004, Bompreço is owned by Walmart.[1]

Bompreço operates mainly in northeastern Brazil, in the Bahia and Pernambuco states of Brazil.[2]

The operating company, Walmart Brasil, has its headquarters in Barueri, São Paulo State.[3] Prior to the buyout by Walmart, Bompreço S.A. Supermercados do Nordeste, headquartered in Ipatinga, Recife, Pernambuco, was owned by the Dutch retailer Ahold (now Ahold Delhaize).[4]

Currently, Bompreço supermarkets are in the process of being converted into Walmart Supermercado stores and Hiper Bompreço stores are being converted into Walmart Supercenters.[5]
