This just came from another list.
WAL-MART
1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart 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 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 in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket Chains sought bankruptcy.
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
Super Centers; 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. You may
think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work
for suggesting that
MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy
because the idiots in Washington sure can't do it!
