Walmart is hosting an event, dubbed 5260, in New York next week to entice large consumer goods companies to use the retailer as a vehicle to reach their customers. The numerical name comes from a Walmart store near the retailer’s hometown of Bentonville, Arkansas, which is known for being a test lab for retail innovation. Invitees include Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Coca Cola, Mattel, Glaxosmithkline and NBC Universal, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
