Ron Loveless

Ron began his career in retail as a Stock Associate at one of Sam Walton’s early Ben Franklin stores. Sam later made him an Assistant Manager at Walmart Store #4 in Siloam Springs, Ark., and then promoted him to Store Manager in Newport, Ark. Due in great part to his innovative nature, Ron rose through the ranks as Walmart grew – from a series of Store Manager positions to District Manager, Regional Vice President. and to Vice President and GMM of Hardlines. It was at this point in his career that Sam asked Ron to helm the new Sam’s Club format.
