In 1945, Sam Walton purchased branch of Ben Franklin Stores from Butler Brothers. Walton focused on selling good and services at low price. At first it was very difficult to manage price and he faced many setbacks, but soon he found low cost suppliers that helped Sam to increase sales.
On July 2, 1962, Walton opened the first Walmart Discount City store located at 719 Walnut Ave. in Rogers, Arkansas. Soon after this his business started rising. His discounted Stores became very popular.
