In 1962, Sam Walton laid the foundation for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. with three principles: have respect for the individual, give service to our customers and strive for excellence. The formula proved rock-solid for success. From a single store in northwestern Arkansas, Wal-Mart has grown into the largest retailer on earth. In 2004, Fortune magazine recognized Wal-Mart as one of the world's Most Admired Companies. Not only is Wal-Mart number one on the Fortune 500, Fortune magazine named Wal-Mart, America’s “most admired company” in 2003 and again in 2004.
