Walmart’s new, state-of-the-art home office is looking more and more complete by the day. Drive by the site of the future corporate campus and it’s hard not to get excited. “I’m just so excited for what this is going to bring to our community,” Bentonville Chamber of Commerce president Brandom Gengelbach said. “The opportunities that it’s going to provide.”The new campus will feature 12 office buildings, as well as a fitness center and a children’s enrichment center. The entire campus spans 350 acres. It’s the kind of setup you’d expect to see in a large city.”It really is a game changer,” Gengelbach said. “I think at the end of the day, we are all as communities competing for a talent. And we’re wanting to ensure we have the best environment for workers to thrive personally and professionally. And this campus demonstrates that.”The Bentonville Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have exact figures to show the projected economic impact that will be generated by the new Walmart offices. However, the president of the organization says one thing is for sure.”All you have to do is look at the size and the scope of the property with what they have from an existing standpoint and know that it’s going to be quite a large impact,” Gengelbach said.The chamber president says typically, larger corporations that are building this type of facility are closed off from the rest of society. “The development is happening in a way that is encouraging the community to be part of it,” Gengelbach said. “So, whether it is trails that are going to go through the campus and through Bentonville and onto other parts of Northwest Arkansas. Or, whether it’s retail. Whatever it is, the doors are being opened.”40/29 News reached out to Walmart’s corporate communications division for an official update on the construction progress on Tuesday afternoon. We are waiting to hear back. According to the company’s website, the campus will open in phases beginning in January 2025.
