What was the name of the very first Walmart store opened in 1962? It was called Walmart Discount City.

Sam Walton opened the first store on July 2, 1962, in Rogers, Arkansas. Its original name was styled “Wal-Mart Discount City,” reflecting the company’s early focus on discount retail and its ambition to offer everyday merchandise at lower prices than conventional stores.

The store was not Walton’s first retail venture. Before launching the Walmart chain, he operated Ben Franklin variety stores, including a successful location in Bentonville, Arkansas. Walmart Discount City represented his move into the expanding discount-store sector, where large self-service stores competed through volume, efficiency, and low prices.

The name is easy to confuse with Walton’s Five and Dime, the historic Bentonville store associated with Walton’s earlier career. Walmart Discount City was the first store in the Walmart chain itself. The original Rogers building is no longer Walmart’s operating store; the company’s Store No. 1 later moved to a nearby location and developed into a Supercenter.
