Business

Last week's trivia answer

I was founded in Arkansas in 1962. I introduced pharmacy, auto service and jewelry divisions in 1978, and greeters and onehour photo labs in 1983. I topped $1 billion in sales in 1979 and took in that much in a day in 2002. In 1983 I launched a club named after my founder. With 1.9 million workers, I'm one of America's biggest employers. I sport more than 100 distribution centers, along with 60,000-plus vehicles and some 8,000 drivers. I'm the world's largest retailer, with annual sales of $375 billion and more than 6,500 stores.
