For more than 40 years, WAL-MART has been one of the most popular and successful big-box chain retailers of all time. The first store was opened by Sam Walton in Rogers, Arkansas on July 2, 1962.

This map is really interesting - it allows you to see the growth of WAL-MART, a bright green dot showing up every time a new store was opened. It literally spread like a virus from 1962-2007! Click here to watch it grow.

How do you feel about WAL-MART? I think most of us from the south/east have a soft spot for it.
