Walmart takes a major step in a bold new direction
There are big changes on the way.

When Walmart first opened its doors in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas, founder Sam Walton couldn't possibly have imagined how much his new store would change the world.
But while he couldn't have seen the behemoth Walmart would grow into in the future, Walton did have a very clear vision: to open his stores in rural areas with a focus on low prices and good customer service.
