When Sam Walton started his business he had an economic crisis - bankers refused to lend him money= NO LOAN

In addition, many of his product suppliers created a credit crisis for him when they forced him to agree to pay cash on delivery even before they would ship products to his stores. But he he grew his business from one tiny single store , which succeeded.

He expanded with a unique business strategy:

Whereas most people put there business where the people are (big bustling cities) Sam Walton put his giant stores in rural areas (cheap rent and real estate) that drew in customers from a 50 mile radius surrounding his stores.
