Visualization: Watching Walmart Grow!
September 5th, 2008
Click on the image, or follow this link, to see the amazing growth of Walmart from a single store in 1962 to a truly global brand. Take note of the intensity of stores in Oklahoma. For better or worse, I have heard that Oklahoma City was long considered an ideal market for Walmart!

That was the most horrifying movie I’ve seen in a long time! You can see the death to small business and loss of local culture like a plague.
It’s an amazing story of company growth and market domination, but I don’t think that always translates to improving the quality of life in a community. But for better or worse, Wal-Mart has done more to affect the consumer culture of our day than any other retailer by far.
