If banks lend out our money and typically only keep 10%, how does the money enter the banking system again?

For example, when we buy things at a store say Wal-Mart, do they have a bank account themselves at an institution? Where does the money of our debit or cash transactions post to? I know cash gets picked up by an armored truck, but to where? Thanks in advance for assisting my curiosity!

People deposit money and make payments on the loans. When you spend the money, the store deposits it, so they can pay workers and suppliers.
