The Latest Addition to Our New Walmart Home Office Offers a Rooftop View of What’s Next

Falfurrias: A rooftop lounge rooted in legacy

At the heart of the AC Hotel is Falfurrias, a rooftop lounge named after one of Sam Walton's favorite escapes in South Texas. It was a place where Sam went to reconnect - with nature, with friends and with himself. That spirit lives on in Falfurrias today.

Warm and unpretentious, the space pairs local flavor with elevated hospitality, offering a rotating menu of small plates, craft beverages and panoramic views of Bentonville. But more than that, it's a space designed for connection:

• A wind-down moment after a long day of collaboration.
• A relaxing spot for a traveling associate.
• A casual gathering of teammates, partners, or neighbors.

Falfurrias is where values and vision meet - on the rooftop, with a view worth sharing.

Here, hospitality isn't an afterthought, it's part of how we build belonging.

A vision made real

As we continue to shape the future of work at Walmart, the AC Hotel Bentonville and the addition of a new Walmart Pharmacy and other Retail Shops reflects what we believe: that a vibrant workplace can make a great community. That spaces can foster connection at work and on the weekend. And that sometimes, a convenient shop or a rooftop in Bentonville can say as much about our culture as a conference room.
