HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2021
- Walmart, Inc., formerly Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., American operator of discount stores that was one of the world’s biggest retailers and among the world’s largest corporations. Company headquarters are in Bentonville, Arkansas. Wal-Mart was founded by Sam Walton in Rogers, Arkansas, in 1962, and focused its early growth in rural areas, thereby avoiding direct competition with retailing giants such as Sears and Kmart.

Sam Walton was born in 1918 in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. In 1942, at the age of 24, he joined the military. He married Helen Robson in 1943. When his military service ended in 1945, Sam and Helen moved to Iowa and then to Newport, Arkansas. During this time, Sam gained early retail experience, eventually operating his variety store.
Responsible for the purchase and maintenance of signage, Walton's assistant, Bob Bogle, came up with the name "Wal-Mart" for the new chain.
In 1950, the Waltons left Newport for Bentonville, where Sam opened Walton’s 5&10 on the downtown square. They chose Bentonville because Helen wanted small-town living, and Sam could take advantage of the different hunting seasons that living at the corner of four states had to offer.
Inspired by the early success of his dime store, and driven to bring even greater opportunity and value to his customers, Sam opened the first Walmart in 1962 at the age of 44 in Rogers, Arkansas.
Walmart's history is more than just the stores built, the partnerships made, and the customers served.
Sam Walton's strategy is built on an unshakeable foundation: the lowest prices anytime, anywhere.
By 1967, the Walton family grew to 24 stores across the state of Arkansas, and had reached $12.6 million in sales. In 1969, the company officially incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
In the 1970s, after a decade of incredible growth, "Mr. Sam" begins to take Walmart national, providing his vision's widespread appeal. Walmart became a publicly-traded company in 1970, with the first stock sold at $16.50 per share.
1971 saw the first distribution center and Home Office open in Bentonville, Arkansas. By 1972, Walmart was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (WMT). With 51 stores, Walmart recorded sales of $78 million.

I had no idea that walmart is so international. They must have a great success concept. However, Walmart failed expanding in Germany and South Korea in 2006.
Great information, I don't like the robotic, A.I. sounding voice over. I wish it was a little more personable

Walmart is the worst place in the world to shop you ask anybody that works there and they always tell you if not their Department and if you don't know anything about the internet and you're trying to get something on the Internet and you go to the store they will not help you that's not the way the co-founder wanted it to be he wanted to help the average American the average person with low prices but like I said you go to Walmart and you're looking for something and you can't find it no one in the store will help you the founder of Walmart would help the common person here in Rochester New York Walmart is the worst place to shop for groceries or any items when they don't have it they don't give you a rain check they just tell you without is what we have very rude very disrespectful Walmart in Rochester New York is a very bad place to shop and I'm sure other places in the United States and other countries as well

People will be kicking themselves in few weeks if they miss the opportunity to buy and invest in bitcoin
I invested in both gold and crypto but the crypto is more profitable
Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
not missing out this time. bitcoin and eth. mainly bitcoin. this very well may be the largest wealth transfer of this century and some people are just so content sitting on the bench for this. not me. I'm all in. this is everyone's chance to escape the 9-5 rat race and it's so obvious
Thanks for the great information.
