Texas Community

A Walmart store decorated with Texas-themed visuals, including a sign that reads 'Texans come here for low prices' in English and Spanish. The setting features Texas flags and patriotic banners hanging from the ceiling. Products such as baked goods and bottled beverages are displayed prominently. The sign includes a red Texas map graphic and bold text.

We have been since 1975, when Sam Walton handpicked the town of Mount Pleasant for its first Texas-based Walmart. It’s not just about building stores and clubs — it’s about investing in associates, backing Texas manufacturing, partnering with ranchers, supporting local businesses and giving back to communities — from El Paso to Texarkana, Amarillo to Brownsville and more than 500 other locations in between. Learn how we’re making a difference in the Lone Star State.

"If we can create great local jobs, we’re going to have better stores and better, stronger communities... We want everybody who has anything to do with Walmart — whether they’re a customer or an associate or a supplier of ours — to benefit."

Doug McMillon, President and CEO, Walmart
