NRF ranks its Top 100 Retailers by past 52/53-week annual retail sales within the United States only unless otherwise noted. It applies a variety of estimation techniques based on publicly disclosed information, resulting in figures that may not always match the companies' official public filing reports, according to NRF.
Company revenues from nonretailing operating segments are removed unless otherwise noted, with system-wide sales provided when the operation is a franchise. Rankings do not include fuel sales at locations designated as having a gasoline/fueling station as their primary business.
Selection criteria for the U.S. Top 100 list is based on Kantar's Retail IQ integrated research methodology.
