Dedicated to the heritage and life of Walmart and its founder, Sam Walton, the newly renovated Walmart Visitor Center re-opened on May 21.
“Preserving this historic landmark and redesigning and archiving one of the greatest stories in business history has been both a humbling and rewarding experience for everyone involved,” Walmart director, brand communication Alan Dranow said.
Among the additions to the center are a working five-and-dime store – stocked with vintage toys, games and candies – and the Spark Café, which sells coffees and baked goods. New interactive digital displays, video and audio clips of company history also have been added.
The center is housed in the historic Terry Block building in downtown Bentonville.
