Walmart Inc, which for years has managed its sprawling operations from a famously drab home office, is following through on plans to boost the amenities at its new headquarters complex.
A fitness centre will feature tennis courts, three indoor pools and a teaching kitchen, while a child-care centre will be able to accommodate as many as 500 kids, Walmart said. The Walton family, which owns about 47% of the retailer, is chipping in $225 million for the facilities and they are scheduled to open late next year.
Walmart, the largest private-sector employer in the US, is upgrading its headquarters as it competes with tech giants, banks and consulting firms to entice talented staff.
