walmart

Back in 1962, Sam Walton opened up his first Walmart store in the town of Rogers, Arkansas. Few folks in America could anticipate the growth the company has seen since its inception nearly a half-century ago.

In 2008, there are over 4,000 domestic and 3,000 international Walmart stores, ranging from their original discount stores (which average over 100,000 square feet) to their supercenters (which average nearly 200,000 square feet). Walmart officially became international in 1991 when it opened its first Sam's Club in Mexico City. Sam's Club, another of Walmart's outlets is best described as a warehouse retail center selling products to both businesses and consumers in bulk quantities. Their biggest rival in size in the United States is Costco.

In 2008, Walmart officially took the "dash" out of its name in the United States.

  Why Anna Hazare Is Fuelling Wal-Mart Politics?
  Now, even Anna Hazare, the leading light for the new generation of India, blames that the government is using the political debate regarding FDI for blocking his utopian demand for a super cop (Lokpal) to look over corrupt politicians and judiciary of India including its prime minister and Chief Justice. Anna also joined the fray and accused Wal-Mart of hidden agenda of colonising India like the British East India Company did two centuries ago.
