Walmart documentary - a business mini movie from MagnatesMedia about the rise of Walmart. Walmart is the largest company in the world by revenue, making over 600 billion dollars a year. And yet, Walmart’s founder was born into poverty, growing up on a farm during the great depression. He was even told by his boss that “he wasn’t cut out for retail work”. And so the story of how Walmart’s founder built this gigantic business empire is incredible. But to some people, the Walmart story is a tragedy of unethical corporate greed gone too far. Because during its rise, Walmart has faced countless scandals, evidence of large scale bribery, and has brutally crushed its competition using cut-throat business tactics. So, it’s time we delve into the insane true story of Walmart. If you’ve ever wondered how Walmart started, how walmart got so big, or how walmart became successful, this is the business story for you! This is the history of Walmart and Sam Walton. #Walmart #Business #Documentary #businesssuccess #businessstories

Gotta love how literally any story can be made into a fascinating 30-min documentary by Magnates. Great work guys.

It's always dudes that have survived the Great Depression that make us depressed.

My dad told me he was working at a grocery store in Kansas City in the 80’s. Sam Walton came in and asked everyone how much they were getting paid. Then opened stores in the area and paid them more.

Going from being told you’re not cut out for retail to creating Walmart is such a flex

The return of MagnatesMedia is a welcome distraction from anyone else, including social media. Such a interesting YouTube channel

It's seems like the secret to wealth is starting a company and then going public. Every time these founders bring the company public, it suddenly turns into a 9-figure millions giant with unstoppable funding that allows them to crush the competition and grow extremely fast.

I have learned a lot from these videos that I can confidently say I'm business literate. John, you deserve my appreciation 🙏

I like this one. I've seen a lot about Sam in documentaries on the old history channel. Worked for Walmart and heard things there as well. This has a good thorough break down of his beginning that some documentaries didn't have. I followed on Twitter and your quality has gone up over the years and you have survived that copyright strike facade. So keep up the great work man!🎉

I rambled and shared a story. Had to edit in my original comment. This is what I sidetrack to. When I was at Walmart I heard about a store manager that had him tour his store a long time ago. He was told a bit in advance but he had freight out the ears😮. So he had people put the pallets on top of the roof with a forklift and pallet jacks. Sam showed up, toured his store. Praised him. Then shook his hand when he was leaving at the vestibule. Sam told him he can take the freight off the top of the roof now.

He flew in on his helicopter that day lol

My dad worked at Walmart from early 80s through mid 90s and they didn’t have to watch any of those videos or crazy stuff like that and they always paid overtime and the employees generally liked working there. My grandmother worked there for 26 years through that time as well. There may of been bad stores but when Sam was alive it wasn’t bad. Yes he wanted employees to work hard and do their jobs but he was fair and offered good stock options for rewards or instead of bonuses

I waited until my coffee was set, my mind was clear, and I was ready to view. Testament to this channel's quality.

Hi Magnates! Nice to see you uploading! I really like the work you do, especially your editing and research into your videos!

I worked for Sam's Club for five years until they decided to Farm out the Demo jobs to another company which started in Bentonville Arkansas but moved to Irvine California. I'm sure it was a close friend or relative. They laid off 15K people overnight, including managers, of the Demo Dept. Most Demo members were long term employees who could no longer do their old jobs and got retired to Demos along with their higher pay, accrued benefits, sick and vacation time, etc. Now those jobs were going to lower paid employees from outside contractor. Yeah, Walmart doesn't care about employees. They still keep a close eye on anyone bringing in Union plans to employees. It's a quick way to get fired. Walmart's Favorite Motto was and is still...Hire people with strong backs and weak brains. So go ahead and work there, if that's the only job in town...otherwise, it wouldn't be on my list of great employers.

Sam journey from poverty to building Walmart is a remarkable testament to resilience and strategic vision. It's a powerful reminder of how business models can evolve to meet market demands while also shaping industry standards. 👏

Walmart bought Asda here in the UK my friend owns a small shop very near one every year he had to get his license to sell alcohol renewed every year they would try to block him . He would always win as he had been there longer . The funny thing is since Walmart sold Asda a few years ago has not happened again they are predatory.

This is brilliant. First he found a way for low cost-high return, then he found investors or business partners who can invest for low cost via stocks. Now it is time to expand walmart via opening a branch on the Moon and Mars
