Anthropologie, Starbucks, Chipotle Joining Walmart Home Office Campus
Walmart announced on December 10, 2025 that Anthropologie will open its first Northwest Arkansas location on the companys new 350 acre Home Office campus in Bentonville, completing a street front retail lineup alongside Starbucks and Chipotle. The leases are intended to serve Walmart associates and the local community, a move that signals continued investment in campus amenities and changes for employee access to services and on site work opportunities.

Walmart said on December 10, 2025 that Anthropologie will join Starbucks and Chipotle as street front retail tenants at its Home Office campus in Bentonville. The retailer described the addition as the first Northwest Arkansas store for Anthropologie and part of a broader effort to build out public facing retail and dining options on the 350 acre campus.
The company framed the tenant additions as amenities for both associates and the surrounding community. Starbucks and Chipotle are already part of the planned retail lineup, and all three tenants are expected to open in spring 2026. Walmart has positioned the Home Office as a workplace and community hub, highlighting on site fitness and childcare facilities, trails, and public facing retail as part of the campus experience.
For employees the announcement matters in several concrete ways. The expanded retail and dining options will change daily routines for roughly 15,000 associates who will work on the campus, offering more choices during lunch and before or after shifts. Presence of established food and retail brands also creates potential on site employment opportunities in retail and food service for associates who want part time work or shift changes within the campus footprint.

The development also reflects Walmarts approach to integrating community facing services with workplace planning. By locating public retail on the same street front as employee amenities, the company is blending access for local residents with convenience for staff. That can influence commute patterns, as employees who previously left campus for errands may choose to remain, and it can affect foot traffic and security protocols as the campus becomes more open to the public.
Walmarts timeline places openings in spring 2026, with the additions presented as part of ongoing investment in the Bentonville campus. For associates the changes introduce new on site conveniences and work options, and they underscore the companys strategy of making its Home Office both an employment center and a community destination.
