Wal Mart to sell out to a Japanese company.

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 >___>;
