The Walmart story dates back over five decades since the year 1962. The first Walmart store opened its doors to the public in 1962 in the town of Rogers, Arkansas. It all started as a simple initiative from Mr Sam Walton and his visionary leadership that has seen the store grow from a single outlet to a renowned chain with many branches across the region.
With the 50 plus years in operation, the chain has become a major household name. This growth could perhaps be attributed to the astute leadership of the founder. Other pillars behind the growth include the chain’s main objective of making everyone who shops at the store a better person through good rates and exemplary services. It is no wonder the chain has a slogan is saving people money so they can live better.
