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.

Target refused to allow the US military to do Toys For Tots at any of their stores.
Charity for children in need, and they shut them down.
Pretty low IMO.

Wal-Mart Has Made It Impossible For Our Other Stores To Compete. And After They Began Winning, They Jacked Their Prices! Wal-Mart Sucks but, the Working Class really have no choice here.

Wal-mart isnt a bad place....the people who go there are.i have been working there for a good portion of the year,including the holidays and what i have learned is that people are selfish and think they are always right.Wal-mart isnt the prob,people are.

No matter how you feel about Walmart they are one of the most charitable giving corporations in the country and also a huge sponsor/partner of Children's Miracle Network. So they may be going up everywhere, but they are also giving back to all those communities...just an FYI

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO
