The story of a department-store trainee who became the richest man
in America and owner of the biggest retail store in the world:
Walmart.
Sam Walton used the money he earned in the army, along with some
financial help from his family, to open his first store. Then he opened
fourteen more. Then Sam had an even bigger idea. He wanted to build
large stores in small towns and reduce the price of everything they
stocked. Although other businessmen and potential partners laughed at
him, this entrepreneur with humble beginnings used his resourcefulness
to create Walmart, which would become the largest company in the world.
