Did a Japanese company buy Wal-Mart?
A friend of mine does security work for Wal-mart. They told me that Wal-mart has been sold to a Japanese company and wal-mart wants to keep this quiet. I looked at the wal-mart web site and all info stops in 2005.

the walton family still owns 40% of the company. I don't think its going to change hands that quickly and quietly.

No Walmart bought a stake in a Japanese company a few years ago. Recently, they bought more of that company, and own the controlling stake in said company. So now they can start transitioning that company to the Walmart brand.

You can find a way to track that information thru their stocks. It can be under the name Walmart but still be listed under another name as owners or a business or partnership.

No. It's a public company, and most shares are held by US investment companies (although the top shareholder is Barclay's, which is from England).

Hmmm, I haven't heard this but I wouldn't really be surprised. Sam Walton is probably turning over in his grave on how it is now ran. Little things like taking away lay-a-way, as a single mom that's how I did my Christmas shopping and got my kiddos school supplies. I'm gonna have to dig around & figure this out because I haven't heard it & now I just GOTTA know.


Ida Slapter
It doesn't matter - I still hate them and they are still importing crappy products from communist china.

I don't know for sure, but I haven't heard anything like this...I really doubt that this is true.

Yes. That is why the sales clerks voices do not sync up with the movement of their mouths.

I've heard the same thing as you...but can't confirm. Funny thing...I swore I'd never enter a wal-mart store, for all the reasons we all know..but went once for something and got hooked. There's a reason the parking lot is always full...there's also, obviously, a reason they can sell so cheap....hmmmm ♥
