Operational Review:
Michael T. Duke
President and Chief Executive Officer,
Wal-Mart Stores U.S.
“ Our store and our community
leaders have become great friends.
Together we helped the city and the
people who live here by advancing
the work of a number of local civic
and charitable activities.”
Mickey Anderson
Store Manager, LaQuinta, CA
In March 2004, store #1805 in LaQuinta moved locations
and was converted to the first Supercenter in California.
During the transition, the store worked very closely with
Mayor Don Adolph’s office. Mickey Anderson, the store
manager, and over 700 associates utilized this opportunity
to have a more positive influence in LaQuinta. For the past
year, the store has raised and contributed thousands for the
community and taken part in everything from bake sales to
car washes to help the city’s non-profit arts organization,
as well as its Parks and Recreation programs. In addition,
the store took an active role in “Roundtable West,” a project
spearheaded by the mayor’s wife, which contributes time
and money towards children’s literacy efforts. And when
LaQuinta threw its annual “Birthday Bash,” store #1805
was an enthusiastic sponsor and an active participant in
the celebration.
