Wal-Mart is this year´s New York Veterans Day parade lead sponsor. The mega corp paid $100,000 for the honor, and its executives are taking part in the procession, reports WNYC News. The parade runs along 5th Avenue this afternoon, from noon until 2p.m.
Wal-Mart has been making a push to enter the New York City market with an eye on Brooklyn as the home of the first area store according to a report last April. Residents of East New York protested against any moves by Wal-Mart to possibly enter the Gateway II shopping complex.
