Member Center:
(Bentonville, Arkansas-AP) Nov. 29, 2003 - It's too soon to know if it's a trend, but the shopping season is off to a good start for the world's largest retailer.
Wal-Mart says its sales on the day after Thanksgiving set a single-day record at $1.52 billion.
That's about $100 million more than it rang up last year on the day after Thanksgiving, the traditional kick-off of the Christmas shopping season.
The company says the top sellers this year were home electronics, small appliances and toys.
Wal-Mart has nearly 1,500 Wal-Mart stores, more than 1,400 Supercenters, 533 Sam's Clubs and 60 Neighborhood Markets in the United States. It has more than 1,300 stores in other countries.
