    Do you mean the gross margin "mark up"?
    I seem to recall that their average gross margin is around
    5 to 10 percent.

    Each individual product/package has its own margin requirement. Some beverage items are as high as 20+%, some are as low as 4%. Sometimes Walmart will even take a loss to get the traffic. Remember $4.98 Pepsi cubes for Memorial Day. They did that on their own. Zabe is correct however, delivering 9-10% margin will usually keep you in Walmart's good graces.

    Well lets say I am selling my product for 1.99. Walmart will take 10-20cents (5-10%)from each purchase to sell at their store?

    To the best of my knowledge Walmart buys "goods' directly from manufactures. They sell these goods for a profit. Walmart does not allow vendors to sell (rent space for sale) goods for a percentage share of their gross revenues.

    Correct, Zabe. And they don't charge slotting fees, either (many stores charge a fee per facing to get the product on the shelf.

    Here's a good article.
