Wal*Mart....What????

I was shocked by the BIGNESS of Wal*Mart...are you?

Exactly how BIG is Wal*Mart, you ask?

1. At Wal*Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day!

2. This Works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wall*Mart will sell more between January 1 and St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells in a year.

4. Wal*Mart is bigger than Home Depot, Kroger, Target, Sears, Costco and K-Mart combined.

5. Wal*Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer. And many cannot speak English.

6. Wal*Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.


7. Wal*Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined and keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie)

9. Wal*Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal*Mart has approximately 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1906 are super centers; this is 1,000 more than they had 5 years ago.

11. 90% of Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal*Mart store.

12. And My personal favorite..Wal*Mart tidbit. It is estimated that 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at a Wal*Mart store this year. The Earth's population is approximately 6.2 billion. Mind Boggling!

Bright Idea!

May I suggest that maybe Wal*Mart could bail out Wal*Street?
Merry Christmas Shopping!

P.S.

Meet Maddie~this is a child with a fantastic imagination! She has made herself her own little unitard from her mommy's shopping bag from Wal*Mart! Click here to read Laura's blog post from today.
