The Superstore

Since its founding in 1962, Walmart has grown from a humble discount store in rural Arkansas to the largest company in the world. With over 11,000 locations, they employ more people than the US Armed Forces. Walmart averages a profit of $1.8 million dollars…every hour. But did you know that Walmart’s first attempt to expand was almost ended by exploding watermelons and donkey poop? Or, that Walmart once attempted to buy out a struggling startup…called Amazon? And you’ll never believe why their founder was forced to do the Hula on Wall Street. Grab your shopping carts and get ready for the superstore-sized history of Walmart.
