Question

Walmart is a multi-billion dollar retail company that is a buyer from several consumer goods manufacturers. many of their suppliers have moved to bentonville, arkansas, the walmart headquarters. why do you think suppliers have moved so close to walmart headquarters?

Answer 1

I think suppliers have moved close to the headquarters in order to save costs. When suppliers set up office far from their customer, there are additional costs to it like transportation fees for both goods and manpower. Getting rid of one aspect of their production costs can help suppliers maximise profits.
