Dear Wal-Mart:
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio—which is HQ for the Kroger Corporation. Locally, I know Kroger fears competition from Wal-Mart, particularly in the grocery business.
In a major initiative, Wal-Mart will be mandating that its suppliers deliver cheap, green electronics by 2010. They have the clout to force such changes too. Thus, manufacturers of applicances, air conditioners, etc. will need to insure their products are Energy-Star and squeaky green if they want to sell to the behemoth that is Wal-Mart.

By Nicole Maestri KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc must be a "company of the future" that embraces advances such as electronic health records or hybrid cars to drive down costs, keep prices low and tackle issues the government may not be able to solve, its chief executive said on Wednesday. "We live in a time when people are losing confidence in the ability of government to solve problems," said CEO Lee Scott, according to a copy of a speech provided to the media. "But at Wal-Mart, we don't see the sidelines that politicians see. And we do not wait for someone else to solve problems that might hurt our business or affect our customers in a negative way." Instead, Scott said Wal-Mart will use its heft as the world's largest retailer to push for changes in health care, energy consumption and sourcing. Scott was scheduled to deliver the speech at a meeting for U.S. store managers held in Kansas City, Missouri. It built on a s

While Of Montreal has brazened out criticism of their T-Mobile campaign by saying red-blooded capitalism is great, Band of Horses have had second thoughts after they did one deal with WalMart and turned down a much larger deal:"I called my family, talked to my girlfriend about it, talked to the guys in the band and decided it's no big deal," [Ben] Bridwell said of the initial decision to license the song. "We tested it with that Web site thing that I figured nobody would really even see. But in the Internet age, you can't do anything without someone catching wind of it."Some fans, they don't even give a crap. They're like, 'Whatever, bands got to get paid.' But at the same time, I was reluctant to do it in the back of my mind, and some fans reminded me there is a reason to feel that way about it."So once I saw our fans were let down by it, I nixed the TV commercial, and said, 'You know what, this isn't for me. Keep your money.'"Arguably, dealing with Wal-Mart, a body who have happily c

Do you read the news this few days? The US retail giant Wal-Mart is keen and interested to open stores in Malaysia. After successful operating in other countries such as Mexico, United Kingdom, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and Puerto Rico, Wal-Mart has already applied for permission to set up operations in Malaysia.Wal-Mart Stores is an American public corporation, which is currently one of the world’s largest corporations. It is also the largest private employer in the world and world’s fourth largest commercial employer. With an estimated 20% of the retail grocery and consumables business, Wal-Mart is the largest grocery retailer in the US. I just hope that the move will boost our economic growth. It will definitely create jobs for local people and most importantly, it will make the retail market more competitive besides injecting foreign investments in Malaysia. So, a message to France’s Carrefour, Britain’s Tesco, Japan’s Isetan and Sweden’s IKEA, beware of the com

Wal-Mart is the #1 importer of Chinese goods. So, after the spree of high-profile recalls and outright bans on dangerous Chinese products, wouldn’t it be logical for Wal-Mart to take the offensive against unsafe imported goods? Shouldn’t Wal-Mart stand up for the safety of American consumers?

:: EARLY NEXT MONTH, 425 Wal-Mart stores nationwide US will begin carrying faith-based toys from One2believe that target parents who would rather that their kids play with a Samson action figure than a Spider-Man action figure. "They'll carry anything that sells," says David Croyle, president of FamilyLife, a non-denominational ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. "This simply signals intelligent buying within Wal-Mart."REFLEKTIONER* Wal-Mart är en USA-jätte men i praktiken ett Kinaföretag. I USA konkurrerar man med prisdumpade Kinavaror till Hu Jintaos och CCP:s förtjusning. Dock slår Wal-Mart´s policy mot det utnyttjade kinesiska folket. * Wal-Mart i USA slår nu också in på den nyreligiösa kommersialismens väg och låter Bibelns Simson m.fl. vara säljreklam. Dessa "sagofigurer" applåderar förstås Sturmarks humanister. Hemma i Kina säljer Wal-Mart förstås med Confucius helt enligt den nya ekumenikens anda, alla religioner är ett.
