HQ Function

Serves as the global operational and strategic hub for Walmart Inc., overseeing all its banners including Walmart Supercenters, Discount Stores, Neighborhood Markets, Sam's Clubs, and e-commerce operations. Functions include merchandising, supply chain, finance, technology, human resources, and corporate strategy.

Notable Features:

Expansive campus known as the 'Home Office.' Features a visitor center showcasing company history and the original Walton's 5&10 store, which is now the Walmart Museum. A new, modern headquarters campus is currently under construction (as of 2024), designed with sustainability, technology, and employee collaboration in mind, featuring amenities like fitness centers, dining options, and green spaces.

Work Culture:

Historically characterized by a frugal, customer-first ethos rooted in Sam Walton's principles. The culture emphasizes teamwork, integrity, and service. With the development of the new campus, there's an increased focus on fostering innovation, collaboration, and employee well-being in a modern work environment.

HQ Significance:

The Bentonville headquarters is central to Walmart's global decision-making, strategy formulation, and operational oversight for all its brands, including Walmart Neighborhood Market. Its location is iconic, representing the company's origins and growth into the world's largest retailer.

Values Reflected in HQ: The headquarters, both existing and new, aim to reflect Walmart's core values: respect for the individual, service to our customers, striving for excellence, and acting with integrity. The new campus design also emphasizes sustainability, community, and digital enablement.

Location:

Walmart Neighborhood Markets are primarily located within the United States. While its parent company, Walmart Inc., has an extensive global presence with various retail formats operating in numerous countries (including Canada, Mexico, China, India, and parts of Africa), the 'Neighborhood Market' banner itself is a U.S.-focused concept. These U.S.-based Neighborhood Markets are supported by Walmart Inc.'s global sourcing network, international supply chain capabilities, and global technology infrastructure.
