What do a 350-acre vision, a statue of Ol’ Roy and a career spent
building what’s next all have in common?
John Furner sat down with Cindi Marsiglio, SVP of Corporate Real Estate,
for a conversation about what it took to bring the new Home Office to life and
what it represents for the future of Walmart.
Cindi also reflected on her 18-year Walmart journey, including her work
to carry forward Sam Walton’s passion for sourcing products and services that
are made, grown or assembled in the communities we serve. That path often led
her into brand-new roles — like the one she holds today, helping turn a bold
vision for our next chapter into a 350-acre workplace that many associates are
already starting to call home.
From a replica of Mr. Sam’s famous Ford F-150 to a sculptural tribute to
his beloved dog, Ol’ Roy, the new Walmart Home Office is rich with stories from
our past and built for the future we’re creating together. And with more than
2.4 million square feet of office space constructed from mass timber — much of
it sourced right here in Arkansas — it also reflects our ongoing commitment to
American-made materials and responsible growth.
With Associates Week just around the corner, we can’t wait to welcome
associates from across the globe to see it for themselves.
