    Vital to Wal-Mart's successful retail model are the tremendous Walmart distribution centers that serve the thousands of stores across the states. Georgia, for example, is home to five Walmart distribution centers-Statesboro, Macon, LaGrange, Monroe, and Douglas. A typical Walmart distribution center is more than one million square feet, or the equivalent of 10 Wal-Mart retail stores. More than two hundred and fifty dock doors serve the fleet of Walmart distribution center trucks that wait in the vast parking lots surrounding the buildings. The aforementioned LaGrange distribution center, which serves stores in Georgia and Alabama, loads and ships over five hundred tractor-trailers of merchandise a day from the one Walmart distribution center alone. A majority of the merchandise one sees in a Wal Mart store goes through a Walmart distribution center first. This enormous volume necessitates the twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week schedule.
