When reflecting on the past, Johnston said, "While much has changed since the beginning, we are still a membership warehouse club and we recognize our foundation is the small business owner. You can still buy a hotdog and coke for $1.50. We still sell quality items at low prices. We are still committed to giving back to our local communities, and our culture is as strong today as it was when Sam Walton began this company."
