With over 11,000 locations, they employ more people than the US Armed Forces. Walmart averages a profit of $1.8 million dollars...every hour.

And you'll never believe why their founder was forced to do the Hula on Wall Street. Grab your shopping carts and get ready for the superstore-sized history of Walmart.
