What is a walmart cause i have no clue what it is?

It's a big store in the United States of America that carries things like food, clothing, furniture, art supplies, electronics, shoes, car supplies, office supplies, etc. Most have a mechanic located on the side, along with a garden center. Some even have gas stations located in the parking lot.

its a store with the best and most efficient worldwide distribution system in existance. The cost cutting in distribution is passed on to the consumer. The sheer scale and size of walmart allows it to bully producers into selling at lower costs, because being banned from walmart is like being banned from earth, for producers.

a massive supermarket. they sell everything from chewing gum to guns

its an american version of asda. if u look on asda's bags it says something to do with being part of the walmart family...basically a big store. :)

WalMart is a chain of really large stores. They sell food, clothing, sports equipment, medicine, bicycles, and on and on... basically they sell everything (at very low prices).
They own ASDA company in UK but I'm not sure how similar the stores are?

he birth of discount retailing

Most people think discount retailing began in 1962 â€“ the year that Kmart, Target, and Wal-Mart first opened. But actually, the chain of variety stores Sam Walton owned during the 1950s faced stiff competition from many regional discount stores.
1962 â€“ Wal-Mart begins

Before opening Wal-Mart, Sam traveled the country studying everything he could about discount retailing. He became convinced American consumers wanted a new type of store. Trusting his vision, Sam and his wife Helen put up 95 percent of the money for the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Ark.
1972 â€“ Wal-Mart goes public

Discounters such as Kmart quickly expanded in the 1960s, while Sam only had enough money to build 15 Wal-Mart stores. In 1972, Wal-Mart stock was offered for the first time on the New York Stock Exchange. With this infusion of capital, our company grew to 276 stores in 11 states by the end of the decade.
The 1980s â€“ Wal-Mart comes of age

In 1983, the first Samâ€™s Club members-warehouse store opened. The first Supercenter opened in 1988, featuring a complete grocery, and 36 departments of general merchandise. By 1989, there were 1,402 Wal-Mart stores and 123 Samâ€™s Club locations. Employment had increased tenfold. Sales had grown from $1 billion in 1980, to $26 billion.
The 21st century â€“ one of the most successful retailers in the world

Today, 7,390 stores and club locations in 14 markets employ more than 2 million associates, serving more than 176 million customers a year. Our history is a perfect example of how to manage growth without losing sight of your values. Our most basic value has always been, and always will be, customer service.
Samâ€™s secret â€” give your customers what they want

In his autobiography, Sam said, "â€¦ if you think about it from the point of view of the customer, you want everything: a wide assortment of quality merchandise; the lowest possible prices; guaranteed satisfaction; friendly, knowledgeable service; convenient hours; and a pleasant shopping experience. You love it when a store exceeds your expectations, and you hate it when a store inconveniences you, gives you a hard time, or pretends you're invisible."

You must be British. Walmart is the largest retail chain in America, you can find them everywhere. They are also slimy and underhanded and I won't shop there until every other store in America closes their doors.
