Video reblogged from Zach Klein's Blog with 82 notes

Watch the Growth of Walmart Across America
*Note: FlowingData has updated its version to include the year.

Wow. I’d love to see this for other companies like McDonald’s, Starbucks, etc. Per the creator (originally this guy), the database used did not include opening dates for these other companies. In fact, it only had about 1/3 of the opening dates for Walmart stores. That’s why there’s a “flurry” at the end, representing all stores without a listed opening date.

Here’s a similar map that shows property development throughout time for select areas in the US.
