November 18, 1973  Wal Mart Opens In Warrensburg
Warrensburg History:
The first Wal-Mart opened in Warrensburg on November 18th, 1973 in a 45,000 square foot location near Holiday Inn. The Warrensburg Wal-Mart became the 65th retail location for the fledgling company, which had been started by Sam Walton and his brother J.L. "Bud" Walton in Arkansas in 1969. In 1973, Wal-Mart had yet to become the global phenomenon it is today, and was confined to just 54 cities in Arkansas and Missouri. When it first opened in Warrensburg, Wal-Mart employed 115 employees, including four assistant managers and one general manager, making it one of the largest employers in Warrensburg in 1973. Sam Walton was on hand for the ceremonies for the grand opening.

On September 15th, 1993, Wal-Mart opened its current location in Warrensburg, the Wal-Mart Supercenter located at 301 E. Cooper at the north end of town. The new location, which replaced the original discount store opened in 1973, is 200,000 square feet in size and for the first time ever, would be open for 24 hours a day. The Central Missouri State University Mules Pep Band, along with county officials and other featured speakers, were on hand to celebrate the new location's grand opening. Some of the employees at the new location had been with the company for more than 15 years, and one employee, Julie Kimery, had been with Wal-Mart for 21 years.

The Teehaus Wal-Mart Interviews:
Dan Marshall conducted a series of interviews at a Warrensburg social gathering point, called The Teehaus, to find out if any of its patrons remembered Warrensburg prior to when Wal-Mart began operating in the city. In addition, he collected their opinions on Wal-Mart's influence on the city and whether Warrensburg had benefited from Wal-Mart's presence.

The Teehaus is a local restaurant/cafe/tea-house in Warrensburg, MO. It was founded in 1969 and is located in the heart of the downtown area and is also within walking distance of the CMSU campus. Because it is frequented by both students from CMSU and local residents of the town, it seemed like a good place to go to get reactions on how WalMart has affected the local community. Because of the atmosphere (a college tea house, art work on sale, funk, soul, and bluegrass playing in the background), the client�le and staff do tend to lean towards the left politically, but are otherwise fairly representative of the Warrensburg community.
