One Nation Under Walmart

Since the beginning of humanity, there were always people who dominate the individual, physically strong people, clever people, or both. It is for these people that human beings can survive. The stronger and smarter people become leaders and become guides for smaller individuals. Like Walmart, the world's largest company, Wal-Mart is a major consumer of low-priced consumer goods. During their rule all leaders will be censored, so Wal-Mart seems to be natural.

Wal-Mart's customers believe that low prices are the most important reason for shopping. The average income of Wal-Mart customers in the U.S. is lower than the national average. The Wal-Mart 2006 report also showed that Wal-Mart's customers are sensitive to rising utility costs and gasoline prices. According to opinion polls, 76% of voters shopping at Wal-Mart once a week voted George W. Bush after the 2004 US presidential election, but voting for Senator John Kerry was 23 It was only%. Frequent Walmart shoppers were rated as most politically conservative with respect to metrics for similar retailers in the United States. Therefore, as of 2014, "The majority of Americans who prefer to shop at Walmart (54%) are against gay marriage and 40% agree with same-sex marriage."

Sam Walton became the founder of Wal-Mart in July 1962, opened the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, and offered "lowest price" anytime, anywhere. In the 1970s, the company went nationwide and expanded its business. In the 1980s, the company established Sam Club to participate in SMEs and individuals. The first Wal-Mart Super Mall opened in Washington, Missouri, combining merchandise and a supermarket, providing convenience for one stop shopping. In the 1990s, Wal-Mart became the largest retailer in the country, and Wal-Mart Super Mall redefined its services as a "daily low-cost" strategy (Wal-Mart 2012). Walmart.com was created to provide consumers with a seamless shopping experience for online shopping, handheld devices, or store shopping. Currently, the company employs 2 million people and has more than 10,000 retail stores in 27 countries. At the same time, they celebrated 50 years to help people save money so that people can live a better life.

Wal-Mart is huge. There are 11,500 stores under 72 banners in 28 countries. One of these countries is Canada; Wal-Mart entered the country more than 20 years ago, established 400 stores from Newfoundland to British Columbia and to the Yellow Knife in the north. This total includes 15 new super centers just opened in January. There are few population centers without Wal - Mart in Canada. It has a small center like Digby, NS with a population of 2,152 people (18,036 people including Digby County). So far, we are all familiar with the low price news of Wal-Mart and the Sunshine Star logo. This positive brand image is difficult to resist, coupled with the choice of chain store and "low price every day". MB local residents are divided into two camps when Wal-Mart is built in a small community like the BC Trail, Edson of AB, Winkler. Some people think this is suitable for local businesses attracting consumers from surrounding communities, and they will also shop at local shops.
