Walmart !

I don't think there is a Walmart in Verdun but there are two in Lasalle.  I've never been in one but after reading this, I think I'll take a look.


HOW BIG IS WALMART?

This should boggle your mind!!

 

 

HOW BIG IS WALMART?

 

1 .

At Wal-Mart,

Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour

of every day.

 

2 ..

This works out to $20,928 profit

every minute!

 

3.

Wal-Mart will sell more

from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th)

than Target sells all year.

 

4.

Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot +

Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco +

K-Mart combined.

 

5.

Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people

and is the largest private employer. And most can't

speak English

 

6.

Wal-Mart is the largest company

in the history of the World.

 

7.

Wal-Mart now sells more food

than Kroger & Safeway combined,

and keep in mind they did this

& nbsp;in only 15 years.

 

8.

During this same period,

31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy

(including Winn-Dixie).

 

9.

Wal-Mart now sells more food

than any other store in the world.

 

10.

Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores

in the USA of which 1,906 are SuperCenters;

this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.

 

11.

This year, 7.2 billion different

purchasing experiences will occur

at a Wal-Mart store.

(Earth's population is approximately

6.5 billion.)

 

12.

90% of all Americans live

within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart

 

13

Let Wal Mart bail out Wall Street

I believe that the stores were Miracle Mart on one side and Mon Mart on the other side of the bridge

I agree with you about the old store names and locations.

Every time we do go into a Wal-Mart store we should also remember that Mr. Sam (as he was known),the original owner help start the decline in US manufacturing by going to China, Korea,Taiwan, Philipines etc., to obtain cheaper and more deadly goods, in order for us to get 'bargains'. Makes me wonder sometimes.
