In January, Walmart hosted a grand opening for its new home office, marking a significant milestone in the multi-billion dollar project that began in 2019.
The new headquarters of the world’s largest retailer sits on 350 acres on the east side of J Street, between Central Avenue and 14th Street.
While many of Walmart’s employees have moved to the new campus, the company is still working on putting the final touches on many of its spaces, with plans to open more buildings throughout the year.
During January’s opening ceremonies, Dan Bartlett, executive vice president of corporate affairs, said it was important to the company that the campus be open to the general public.
“Oftentimes, you see corporate campuses that … go out of their way to wall it off from the community, to make it exclusive. We had the opposite idea,” he said. “This is going to be everybody's campus, not just Walmart associates’ campus. That’s one of the really exciting parts about it.”
Here’s a look at what’s open to the public — or will be soon — at the new Walmart Home Office.
Retail Shops & Restaurants
While the 8th & Plate food hall and a few other places are only open to employees, the campus will be home to several store fronts and restaurants open to the public.

The hotel will be used for visiting Walmart associates, but rooms can also be reserved by the general public when available.
