Actually Walmart's material isn't nearly as low quality you might think. When I'm in Asia, I struggle to find equivalent clothing/shoes for as cheap as Walmart. Walmart's purchasing power ensures the lowest prices for America, it's actually more expensive in Asia.
- baybal2 8y agoHaha, yes. In China, ironically, Walmart became a kind of an upscale establishment.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoI wouldn’t go that far. Maybe more upscale than WuMart, but not as upscale as even carrefour.
- code_duck 8y agoMaybe the equivalent of target in the US?
- CharlesColeman 8y ago> Haha, yes. In China, ironically, Walmart became a kind of an upscale establishment. It's interesting to see how brands are positioned differently in different markets. IIRC, Stella Artois is the PBR of the UK, but without the hipster cool, while it's relatively premium in the US.
- Hydraulix989 8y agoI found the opposite -- textiles are much cheaper in Asia. It's only the "imported" brands that are more expensive.
