WalMart is by far the largest retailer in the country but is starting to struggle a bit. Same day stores sales are down and grocery sales are down too in their super stores. They are currently planning to open a number of smaller stores.

SAMS CLUB has never been profitable---from what I read. They have a new CEO and need some new ideas. Most Retirees don't buy in the "bulk" that stores like the so called Wholesale Clubs (Sams, Costco, Bj) like to push And direction much of their sales.
