In the past few years, the downtowns of cities across Michigan have been impacted by the opening of new WalMart discount stores. These all-inclusive discount stores have found relatively easy market opportunities near smaller cities, where they specifically targeted the first new stores. Using a "down-home" retailing approach, WalMart has appealed primarily to lower and middle-class households (40 percent of its customers have household incomes of $20,000 or less1). With this market strategy, WalMart has been so successful it has become the nation's leading retailer in just a few years. In 1994, it outdistanced KMart in sales volume with fewer stores--KMart, with just over 3,800 stores, had a total sales volume of $34 billion, while WalMart's 2,500 stores had an annual volume of $83 billion.2

Walmart received an $89,705 fine after the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection found 280 weights and measures violations at nine Walmart stores. The gargantuan retailer failed to subtract the weight of packaging materials, or "tare weight," when pricing bulk items like coffee, broccoli, and sweet potatoes.
