‘Tech empowered’ Walmart is getting new digs
Walmart has revealed details for a new HQ in its home town of Bentonville, Arkansas as it looks to step up its digital strategy and attract the “next generation of talent”.
“Associates have heard leadership say time and again, Walmart is people-led and tech-empowered. For that statement to continue to guide us, we need a modern, connected campus,” says Dan Bartlett, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs. “We expect this will accelerate Walmart’s digital transformation and help attract the next generation of talent with state-of-the-art technology and contemporary conveniences.”
Demolition of existing buildings, infrastructure and utility construction will begin this summer. In the next 18-24 months, the support and office buildings will be designed and construction will begin. The goal is to open in phases between 2020 and 2024.
