Sam Walton used to test new ideas at Walmart’s 8th store in Morrilton, Arkansas. Today, Store No. 8 is the name of our company’s incubation arm. Scott Eckert’s team is always looking around the corner to identify new tech trends - some might have uncertain outcomes, but big potential if the idea works. Srini Venkatesan’s team then tests, iterates, and develops a final product to be implemented in stores across the country. InHome delivery and Intelligent Retail Lab both started at Store No. 8! We’re constantly running startups inside Walmart to remove friction for our associates and continue innovating for our customers. Listen to this new episode of The Huddle with John Furner to hear how we’re honoring Walmart’s entrepreneurial history while encouraging our teams to perform and transform for the future with Store No. 8.
