Walmart Electronics Event: Black Friday Starts Now
Over the past five quarters, Walmart has struggled with sales within their United States division. Internal structure changes left investors in confusion as well as customers. Customers began to trade up to other retailers once the recession eased for them.

Simon has been vocal with the unsuccessful Rollback strategy during the summer months, stating it simply didn't work. He went on to express customer's dissatisfaction with reduced inventory levels through Walmart's remodeling efforts. He charged back by adding promotional items back into all of the stores. At the latest investors meeting, Simon spoke on the challenges on the Christmas season and Americans continued struggles.
