Photos from Walmart's boom in the 1990s show how the retail chain took over the world
In 1992, Walmart replaced the dash with a star.
Walmart eventually got rid of the hyphen altogether in 2008.
In 1991, a roll of Sparkle paper towels cost 67 cents at Walmart.
In 2025, a two-pack of Sparkle paper towels costs $2.97 at Walmart, or about $1.49 per roll.
The chain became a premier Black Friday and holiday shopping destination.
On Black Friday in 1998, customers lined up outside Walmart stores at 3 a.m. to secure popular '90s toys such as Furbies.
