Bentonville

From World travel guide

Bentonville is in Arkansas.

Bentonville is the home of Wal*Mart, the largest corporation in the world. This was a Jeopardy question last year and all contestants missed the answer. So you can now consider yourself properly warned.

Other than the fact that it is the headquarters city of Wal*Mart, Bentonville is unremarkable, not unlike hundreds or thousands of small southern cities. It lies in a mostly agricultural region of northwest Arkansas. Other major businesses in the area include Tyson's (yes, the prepared chicken folks) and JB Hunt, a large trucking company. Because of the miraculous growth of Wal*Mart, Bentonville is suffering from severe growing pains. Highways are quite crowded and traffic jams are very common.
