Walmart is looking to serve up the big break people might have been looking for during Walmart’s open call scheduled for June 13 in Bentonville, Ark. People can apply now for a chance to secure a seat at a table with one of the company’s buyers by going to walmart-jump.com; the deadline is May 4.
“Walmart’s investment in U.S.-manufactured products goes beyond the shelf. The investment is also in the entrepreneurs’ dream, and that can be an emotional experience for everyone involved,” said Cindi Marsiglio, Walmart’s vice president of merchandise services and U.S. manufacturing. “By investing in products that support American jobs, we’re able to bring new products to our shelves and new jobs to our communities.”
Attendees at this year’s open call could secure deals ranging from a handful of stores in a local market, to supplying hundreds or even thousands of stores, Sam’s Club locations and Walmart.com. The daylong event informs, empowers and encourages all who attend while providing a networking opportunity for local entrepreneurs.
A brand-new batch of products identified during the 2017 open call event recently landed on Walmart store shelves, representing the dreams of dozens of entrepreneurs across the country.
In January 2013, Walmart announced it intends to help boost job creation and U.S. manufacturing through buying an additional $250 billion in products that support American jobs throughout 10 years. Based on data from Boston Consulting Group, it’s estimated that 1 million new U.S. jobs will be created through this initiative. Last year, Walmart spent $7.3 billion with Missouri suppliers, supporting almost 60,000 local jobs.
