$469.16 billion were the sales and revenues for Walmart in 2013. It is expected to have sales and revenues of $476.29 billion in 2014.
Walmart has the worst operational models in retail sales. The ad is simply playing with 'ideas' to insure sales. If Walmart doesn't increase it's pay rates and invest in manufacturing in the USA it is out of the game. It is already losing it's sales base.
Walmart has aggressively pursued a strategy of slash and burn. It has constructed big box stores simply because it could, not because it should. The strategy is to make Walmart the ONLY story in any neighborhood.
Monopoly.
All these 'cheap merchandise' stores use that strategy to build wealth. Their buying tactics are ruthless because of their size which also continues to bring down the cash flow in the work force. The less monies manufacturers have in profit, the less employees are paid.
Simply because Walmart wants to invest in purchasing more in America, doesn't mean there is going to be more or better paying jobs. Walmart has to change it's business model and treat suppliers with respect rather than as if it is doing them a favor to purchase their manufactured merchandise. I mean let's face it if a manufacturer actually made real money it could replace Walmart, right?
Walmart is putting itself out of business because of it's ruthless policies. This is not rocket science. When Walmart builds store after store after store while putting competition out of business, they actually begin to compete with itself. Hello? This is a well managed company that actually understands where it belongs in the market place? NO!

Does Walmart have a future? Who knows? With this methodology for profits I don't see it has much of a future.
I mean is Walmart going to start building cars, too, as their ad tries to portray? Walmart destroyed the Middle Class in the United States of America. Now, because they are failing in sales in the USA and can't raise wages in their outsourced jobs it is pleading for a redress of its' worthiness in the American landscape. With the history Walmart has, does that company actually think the American consumer is going to run to support their comeback?
I don't think so!
It's tactics are ruthless and the wind will change as soon as it serves the companies best interest.
Bye, bye, Walmart. Everyone say good-bye to Walmart.
Telling the truth is a "DIRTY JOB," but, someone has to do it.
