Wal-Mart

I agree with you. I don't think its necessary for Wal-Mart to change their logo at all. They are a very huge company, which is located all over. I'm not sure if they are international, but I would think they are. I know that there are plenty of Wal-Mart is Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. I enjoy going there, they have everything I could ever possible need. It's just a great place. Even if they do change their logo, they will of course remain big. I just think its a waste of time.

I have not heard nor read this story yet. But we have WalMarts near us and we frequent them often. One is about a mile from me so it is easy to travel there. Some days I even ride my bike there and window shop. The problem I see though is that they seldom have new items in the stores near us. The same stuff and the same things on the clearance aisles/shelves. Now targets has a wider change of items at their stores and the clearance items are always different when we visit each weekend. I don't see why they need to change their logo.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

changing their logo really won't make much of a difference to me.
we have a walmart,but it's a scaled down one.
we don't have the grocery store added on,and it's not 24 hours.the area they put it in isn't that great,and they'd get robbed constantly if it were open past 9.

I haven't heard of this either. I am a very avid Wal-Mart shopper I go there at least 3 times a week... it seems I am always forgetting something. I might be subconcsciously done so that I can keep going back, but with that being said, it is one of my favorite stores and changing the LOGO to me (if that is in fact what they are trying to do) is not necessary at all. And if they are doing it to change their image.. why an what for? Wal-mart, is Wal-mart, is Wal-mart if that makes since and even if they changed the logo to a bright neon hot pink and dipped it in diamonds... LOL, its still Wal-mart. If them changing the logo really is true, I can't wait to see what sort of reactions they are gonna get,

I don't think they should change their name or logo. Why fix something that isn't broke? I have come to know and love Walmart ever since the first time I stepped foot in one. Sometimes change is not a good thing.

what kind of image do they have now? if u want anything here[tennessee] you have to go to wal-mart to get it. they have run all the small times stores out of buisness. out down town looks like a ghost town most of the time as do so many small towns that have had a wal-mart come in.

I use to work at Wal-mart and there are very unfair, they need to change the way they treat their
employes.
I was out on sick leave and I had to have surgery, before I know it I was fired.
wal-mart had a bad image, that they need to chance.

Hmm.. I think this is probably due to Target really bashing them in marketing. Target has a great advertising campaign and has really turned into the "cool, hip" store for these types of low cost items, whereas Walmart seems like more of a thrifty store. Don't get me wrong - I like both. However, I do prefer Target just because it's cleaner, easier to maneuver around, and has much better employee help and cash registers open. Walmart is always crowded, you have to wait in lines, can hardly get your cart around the store without running into folks, and kind of "stresses" me out just thinking about the trip. I would go to Target and just pay a little more for the convenience. Not sure that this would be a good move for Walmart though - seeing how it already has built a very stable brand image and it will take a very long time for people to change the image in their minds.

I guess there looking for any little way they can to improve their image.

Lol, that is funny about people from other states driving just to go to Wal-mart. When we went to Florida we went to Wal-mart too. I think it is because most Wal-marts are the same and even have the same layout, besides the super Wal-marts so you know what they have.

I don't think it is neseccary but I guess a lot of companies change every so often to have a fresher image. I don't think it would help they business one way or the other.
