Would it be permissible to shop at Wal-mart, knowing that it’s business organization has some dishonesty and cheating?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

This would not, in itself, make it a religious duty or expectation to avoid shopping at Wal-Mart. In general, however, it is praiseworthy to support businesses of with good business, employment, and environmental practices, as much as one reasonably can without personal hardship or harm.
