Open Call offers an extraordinary growth opportunity for small and medium businesses. Entrepreneurs who secure a “golden ticket” — a deal for Walmart to sell their products in stores or online — can gain access to a vast customer base, enabling significant growth. After earning golden tickets, Open Call winners often go on to grow their manufacturing footprints and create jobs within their local communities.
All Open Call entrepreneurs will participate in mentoring sessions with Walmart leaders and hear from special guests, gaining invaluable business insights and resources. Additionally, each entrepreneur will have a one-on-one pitch meeting with Walmart and/or Sam’s Club merchants. Every entrepreneur at Open Call stands to gain valuable business advice and guidance.
More than 86% of Walmart shoppers have said it is important for retailers to carry goods made in the U.S. Already, more than two-thirds of Walmart’s annual product spend is on goods made, grown or assembled in the U.S. Thanks in part to Open Call, Walmart continues to make progress toward sourcing even more of these products.
This week, Walmart suppliers with U.S. manufacturing footprints, including many past Open Call winners, are in Washington D.C. to meet with policymakers in Congress and advocate for American manufacturing. These suppliers represent a diverse array of success stories, having opened new factories, created more jobs, and reached more customers since connecting with Walmart. This coincides with the start of our application period this week, welcoming suppliers to Open Call 2024.
You can apply to Open Call until July 15, 2024. Learn more about Open Call and find resources for potential applicants.
