In opening his 5&10 on the Bentonville square in 1950, Sam Walton catalyzed Bentonville's rich entrepreneurial history. Bentonville is widely known for Walmart, but it's home to a diverse array of start-ups and small businesses, plus a wide breadth of internationally recognized entrepreneurial and business support organizations.
