Just How Big Is Walmart?

[Brett]

HOW BIG IS WAL-MART? WOULD YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT THIS SIZE?

I was blown away by these mind-boggling statistics on Wal-Mart!

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 + Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private employer.

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 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 ofwhich 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 Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

Remeber Walmart can even take your property if they want to build on it, no lie.

Remember kids: if you have money, you control the world.

[BiH1320]

Daayuuuumm.
I have a question though.
How much money do cops make a year?

[con]

wish I had a couple shares of that stock......

[Echonova]

Wal-Mart was sued 4,851 times in 2000––or about once every 2 hours, every day of the year. Wal-Mart lawyers list about 9,400 open cases,” according to a report published in the August 14, 2001, USA Today newspaper.

There's a billboard across the street right now that says APD makes 40k-50k.

[BiH1320]

What about normal cops?

[BiH1320]

What's APD?
Atlanta Police Department?

[Sol-Badguy]

[Kamikaze]

Sooner or later Wal-mart will take over the government. Then we will be institutionalized by being forced to sing the western-style Roll Back song.

[Doppelgänger]

Target>Wal-Mart

[Jecht]

No kidding.

Right around my house, there's been one for a few years. They JUST built one about 2 miles down the road. No joke.

Yeah, I was wondering what they were up to when they made that Wal-Mart. Its literally a two minute drive from the other one, and its on the same street.:thinking:

[§treet_§peed]

lol i work for the walmart corporation.. os i help make them that 20ks a minute lol

[§treet_§peed]

[ShooterMcGavin]

[Slowboy]

[§treet_§peed]

dude i think everyone has went to walmart at 1 in the morning or later lol and drunk high or some combination of something

[dorin48]

Since Wal-Mart moved into China now is the time to buy stock. They are going to $18billion in stock just from China soon and the demographics of growth are indicating a higher potential than the US, over 20% for 2 years.

In the US on average ~ one visit spending ~$31

In China's beginning ~ six visits a day spending ~$5

Wal-Mart has also struck a deal with the government to make their average pay livable. On average someone working in a store as a cashier earns ~$94 a month. That is a decent amount if the employee is single and has no dependents. If otherwise they can afford the most basic of needs but would need another form of income to live more comfortably. This has earned them much praise considering some of the other jobs available.

[quickdodge®]

That's some crazy shit. Later, QD.

[ALVIN]

Yeah, my parents own a fair share of land in the Blue Ridge Mtns in Tennessee and, last month, Wal-Mart came to them and offered them major dollars for about 15 acres. Just waiting on the finalities now. Later, QD.

[ALVIN]

Walmart's margins suck. 312 billion and revenue and a paltry 11.2 billion in profit. That much work for 3.59% profit.

Exxon Mobil has them beat easily in profit margin and gross revenue. Walmart's the biggest company by employees and the largest retailer. Exxon the biggest by stock value, revenue, and profit.

Some other math:

Walmart:
Revenue/Employee: $173,555
Profit/Employee: $6,222

Exxon:
Revenue/Employee: $4,451,888
Profit/Employee: $481,121

Each employee at Exxon generates 77x the profit each employee at Walmart.

[Frög]

walmart should make its own country..

[§treet_§peed]

lol maybe they will by our land and give use a good little chunk we own like 5 acres but it is perfect cause it is connected to the back side of where they are wanting to build..:D

not really a fair comparison as exxon is mostly automated(they employee >1/10 the people walmart does), the gas stations are franchises, and many of the workers they employee are contractors. GE does the same shit and if ya looked i think youd find their numbers would beat exxon. i bet if you looked at the risk and how both companies were financed walmart would come out ahead. besides in 10yrs when walmart buys iraq, exxon will be seriously fucked.

more knowledge for ya, walmart sells more pharmaceuticals, fills more percriptions for eye glasses, and developes more film than most (if not all) their competitors put together. remember "the company" from aliens? walmart tryin to restock the pet department. :ninja:
