The Wildfire Growth of Walmart
Flowing data presents an excellent visualization of Wal-mart’s meteoric rise to becoming the supermarket giant that it is today.
There’s a noticeable gap in the western penetration, but I have a sneaking suspicion that that has more to do with distribution and logistics than it does with politics or policy.
