This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Sam Walton (1918–1992) was an American entrepreneur and the founder of Walmart, the world's largest retail chain. Known for his innovative approach to business, Walton revolutionized the retail industry by implementing cost-cutting strategies, supply chain efficiencies, and a focus on customer service to offer low prices. He opened the first Walmart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas, with the vision of providing affordable goods to rural communities. His emphasis on logistics, bulk purchasing, and aggressive expansion led Walmart to become a global retail giant. Walton's leadership style was hands-on, and he valued his employees, referring to them as "associates" and promoting a strong company culture. His legacy lives on through Walmart and Sam's Club, making him one of the most influential figures in modern retail history.
