The veteran entrepreneurs we do business with make Walmart a stronger company. Veteran suppliers are an important part of our mission to deliver the products and services our customers want and need. Walmart spent $1.2 billion with veteran-owned suppliers in FY23.
Honoring service members is in our DNA. We’re committed to supporting those who serve, and we have been since the very beginning. Our founder, Sam Walton, served in the U.S. Army during the second World War.
The skills our military veterans developed while serving our country like leading diverse teams and making critical decisions under pressure naturally align with the entrepreneurial spirit. Starting and growing a business doesn’t have to be a solo mission; there’s ample support to smooth the transition from service to entrepreneurship.
