"Every aspect of this venture is geared toward offering the most options to our retail partners and manufacturing the highest quality products the American consumer demands and deserves. We aren't just building a facility – we are moving to South Carolina. The fact that three Manhattan residents are doing so is testament to our dedication, but equally, reflects on the wonderful people in the great state of South Carolina. We appreciate the exceptional support we've received from state and local officials." – Louis "Tripp" Hornick III, chief operating officer of Louis Hornick & CompanyAbout Walmart
