Coming to a vacation spot near you is a tiny Walmart!
The big box chain announced in a release last week that they will be opening "cute, tiny stores" in "getaway outposts" across the country that are "far away from big boxes."
The stores formed a partnership with Getaway, a wellness hospitality company, with a mission to "make space in the world for free time," and "help guests live better by aiming to make traveling to nature even easier and convenient."
Named "The General Store by Walmart," these tiny outposts will include seasonal products, sourced from Walmart and curated by the outdoor experts at Getaway, and include items such as "hiking gear, leisure activities and equipment including FujiFilm cameras, Lodge Cast Iron Skillets, Pendleton Outdoor Blankets, and Burt's Bees lip balms."
The General Store will also feature "quality goods from small businesses within the community, furthering Getaway and Walmart's commitment to supporting local communities."
Carlos Becil, Chief Experience Officer at Getaway, said, "At Getaway, our mission is to help people disconnect and spend time in nature. In partnering with Walmart, we are able to amplify our efforts to a larger audience and provide our guests with more free time, helping them prepare for their stays and enjoy the comforts of nature once they arrive."
