HOW BIG IS 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 + 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 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

Correct. Government projects need to have massive utility to be worthwhile. Turn the country into a free wi-fi wireless zone for example.
