Walmart is too big. Not much room to grow.

Yet, they are building 265 new super centers in the U.S. in the coming year.

Actually visited their first store ... opened in Bentonville, AR the summer of 1950 called Walton's 5 & 10. The store front is on the square in the middle of town and in addition to Sam Walton employed 4 people. Fast forward to 2005 (55 years later) and just a short distance away are the headquarters for WalMart. A large complex designed for function, not looks, it certainly comes across as modest when you think corporate headquarters. Across the street is a WalMart super center.
