Three entrepreneurs told a group of reporters about their journey to get on Walmart shelves Wednesday.
Why it matters: Walmart said in 2021 it plans to spend an additional $350 billion by 2030 on items made, grown or assembled in the U.S.
Nearly two-thirds of the products Walmart purchases each year come from the U.S.
What they said: Sean Riely, CEO and co-founder of DUDE Wipes, said he wants to get more wipes to butts and Tricia Wallwork, CEO of Milo's Tea, said she wants to get more lips to sips.
