Herman's World of Sporting Goods Herman's World of Sporting Goods was a sporting goods retailer in the United States. It was founded by Herman Steinlauf in 1916 as a music store. At one time, there was a gentleman's agreement with west coast competitor Oshman's Sporting Goods, that the Herman's chain would stay east of the Mississippi, while Oshman's would be dominant on the west coast. Later on, Herman's did expand west with the acquisition of Salt Lake City-based Sunset Sports Centers, although this was short-lived. The company entered bankruptcy in 1993, first closing the stores out of the New York metropolitan area, then the New York City stores. Herman's could not compete with the warehouse size stores of Dick's Sporting Goods and Sports Authority, as most locations were in malls or strip malls.

Walmart Watch Walmart Watch, formed in the spring of 2005, is a joint project of the Center for Community and Corporate Ethics, a non-profit organization studying the impact of large corporations on society and its advocacy arm, Five Stones. The Wal-Mart Watch group is based in Washington with the claimed goal to challenge Wal-Mart to become a better employer, neighbor, and corporate citizen in order to improve the wages, health benefits, and treatment of workers. One of Wal-Mart Watch’s initial attacks against Wal-Mart was setting up an automated phone system that called 10,000 people in Arkansas in efforts to find individuals who would share secrets about the practices of Wal-Mart on their workers. As a result of this automated phone system attack, Wal-Mart Watch created a 24-page report revealing the company’s wages and benefits. Wal-Mart Watch’s goal was to get the inside scoop on Wal-Mart’s practices, in hope that they would be less than respectable, to show the public the “ugly truth” behind Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart Watch launched a “Higher Expectations” campaign called “Higher Expectations Week” as an attempt to bring the business practices of Wal-Mart to the public eye. “Higher Expectations Week” was supported by many labor unions and liberal groups that partnered and participated with Wal-Mart Watch during the week of the campaign. It has recently merged with Wake Up Wal-Mart to form Making Change at Walmart.
