Wal-Mart On Top in Retailing Survey

Wal-Mart is ranked No. 1 in the National Retail Federation's 2007 list of the Top 100 Retailers. The survey, sponsored by SAP, concludes that Wal-Mart remains the most influential retailer in the nation. When the discounter says it is going back to what it does best, this means, according to the survey, that the lower-price space will be controlled -- perhaps exclusively -- by Wal-Mart.
