Sam Walton’s passion for customer satisfaction and low pricesFollowing Mr. Sam’s simple approach has made us a global leader. By offering quality merchandise at an exceptional value, we can lower your cost of living and improve your standard of living. Save people money so they can live better livesIn 2007, independent research from Global Insight shows the retailer saves American families $2,500 each year, regardless of where they choose to shop. With this savings, families could: - Pay one year of natural gas and electric bills and still have money left over
- Buy gas for their car for one year
- Make two monthly car payments and wash their car seven times
- Pay almost half of the average tuition at a public four-year university.
