In 1962, Sam Walton watched his competitors stock their shelves and built the biggest retail chain in history

Summary by Times of India
Sam Walton built Walmart not from an office, but by tirelessly visiting competitor stores, gathering insights on operations and pricing. He wasn't the first with the discount idea, but his relentless observation and learning from the ground up allowed him to develop a replicable, disciplined system. This hands-on approach, not a secret algorithm, fueled Walmart's rise in a competitive market.
