Sam Walton (founder of Walmart) owned his first store, Ben Franklin, in Newport AR late in the 1940s. He closed that store and moved it to Bentonville AR, renaming it Walton's Five and Dime. He opened the first Wal-Mart Discount City in Rogers AR in 1962, and incorporated as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. in 1969.
