Walmart announced on Monday that the company would be launching a “Grow with US” program aimed at helping small businesses in the US grow by selling American-made products.
A statement released by Walmart on the program said that it is aiming to “help small businesses go big” with American-made products. The retail giant, which has been growing its ecommerce platform as a of late, said that the move is “building on the legacy Sam Walton established over 40 years ago” and looking to expand “support for American-made products through new programs like Grow with US — providing small businesses with new tools and paths for success.”
Walmart said that the program will be “making it easier for US-based entrepreneurs to navigate the complexities of retail and bring their products to a national stage.” The move was announced the same day ecommerce giant, and competitor Amazon was reportedly moving to install the added costs of tariffs on goods sold on the bulk version of their website, Amazon Haul.
