Since Walton's death the chain has come under fire for its labor practices and aggressive marketing tactics. Arguing that Wal-Marts drove out other merchants, many local communities fought to keep new stores from opening, and in June of 2004 a lawsuit was filed on behalf of 1.6 million women, charging that Wal-Mart discriminated against female employees.

Answer 2

Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart, made his first shot at a variety store in Arkansas with a loan from his father-in-law and money he had saved during his time in the Army. He experimented with wholesale concepts, and kept his store open during times that other variety stores would typically close (holidays). Unfortunately, the landlord did not renew his lease for Walton in an attempt to pass the tremendous success of the variety store to his own son, thus Walton's first store was bought and he went else where to continue his new founded career. Walton began opening stores in Missouri and Arkansas with the help of his family; yet some stores failed. But in July of 1962, the first Wal-Mart was established in Rogers, Arkansas. With time, Wal-Mart conquered every state in America and became international. Sam Walton was a very devoted entrepreneur and though his business grew in such a way that he could not observe and take charge every where, he made it his greatest attempt to visit Wal-Marts and boosted the spirit of his employees and customers till his death in 1992. Currently, his children and family take hold of his business.
