Wal-Mart is one of the most successful superstores in America. They sell everything from groceries and clothing to toys and car parts. Wal-Mart has literally become a one-stop shop for anything a family could want. The thing that sets them apart is their "Always Low Prices." Wal-Mart's supply chain is impressive. They take the time to find the best prices for their products and then keep the cost of shipping and warehouse logistics low to delver cost savings to their customers.

Take a look at their progress so far.
