BENTONVILLE, Ark — Two Arkansas-based companies made the cut at Walmart’s eighth annual Open Call event to get their products on the retailer’s shelves.

Camo Dust, based in Lonoke, and Bentonville-based Bucklebury each told the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal about their deals with Walmart.

The 900 participants were culled from more than 12,000 meeting requests received by the retail giant.
