According to one of my uncles, anyway. He claims that they will come to be known as "Sparkle" in about a year as they sell out to this foreign company. My uncle has worked for Wal Mart for well over a decade, so his claim certainly holds some merit. Dad has also worked there since before I was born (or maybe right after), which was in 1991, and he also claims that he wouldn't be surprised if this ends up happening. Personally, I'm rather skeptical. I would think that Wal Mart makes enough money as a corporation that they would be able to avoid something like this. |

That would be pretty dumb if it actually happened. |

I definitely don't see this happening...Japanese people can't even pronounce Sparkle! |

It should be noted that this is coming from our uncle that tends to either overexaggerate things or say stuff that isn't true/never happened. >_> |

Holy crap, you two are related?! It'd be nice to see Japan get something like a Wal-Mart. Theres plenty of grocery stores and hardware/furniture places, but if you want games or other stuff you have to find the smaller local stores... |

Yeah, we're brothers. Nearly, but not quite a year apart. |

1. I call BS, especially because everyone would know about it already. 2. How would Wal-Mart ever sell out? It can buy any competitor it wants, anytime it wants. |

If it DOES happen, maybe it'll be worth lifting my personal boycott due to their customer service >___>; |
