The forest for the trees, Pete.
They had to have the money to spend, or Sam would still be peddling his wares in a singular store in Arkansas. (If he weren't dead, that is.) It's not just the one loaf of bread---it's millions of loaves, peanut butter, and "Snuggies" and lampshades and beer and toilet paper.....being sold to millions of people who have the money to buy it. Did Sam just suddenly happen upon thirty billion dollars and hire a bunch of people? Or did he build his wealth over time selling his goods to the poor and working class?
Did Henry Ford make his fortune selling cars to billionaires? No, he sold them to a large, financially empowered middle and working class. No money in the workers pockets = no demand, no demand = no revenue.
It's not all that complicated.
