Our DNA
If we work together we’ll lower the cost
of living for everyone…we’ll g
        g         y          give the
world an opportunity to see what it’s like
to save and have a better life.

Sam Walton



                                 You can’t just keep doing what works
                                 one time. Everything around you is
                                 always changing. To succeed, stay out
                                 in front of that change.

           I was reading blogginstocks the other day and noticed
           the commentary on Wal-Mart's PC Merchandising. The
           first bullet point was a bit hard to swallow: "Why even
           carry PCs is you display them like this". I must be
           honest here: I agree. We …really haven't focused on
           improving the customer experience and addressing the
           concerns that bloggingstocks brings up. When I took
           over the PC business last August, this was the first area
           on my list that I wanted to address.
