Benton, AR | No. That is Bentonville which is at the very northwestern corner of Arkansas. Tyson is another large company in Arkansas but is located nearby in Springdale. |

That would be Bentonville.
But Benton is a sizeable town next to a sizeable city. There should have been lots of alternatives there.

Wal-Mart's office is in Bentonville. It's about 150 miles from Benton. Bentonville has pretty good coverage in town (Cox, ATT), but like most local towns suffers once you get out of range of the CO.
Wal-Mart has their own stuff, and doesn't use much of the local infrastructure. |
