Several Walmart stores opened in the Dallas city limits during Dacona Smith’s tenure over D-FW from I-35 and Ledbetter to Midway and LBJ Freeway.
Smith said he has family obligations to focus on that include his parents.
“There’s no one else I could have imagined running our stores during this time — some of the most challenging, yet defining, years we’ll ever know as a business,” John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., said in a memo to employees. “And there’s no one else I can imagine who has earned the time more to spend with those most important in his life — his family.”
Smith said starting out in the store and working his way up, he found a clearly defined path at Walmart and values the experience he gained. “It’s amazing what you learn growing up in the company,” he said. “It gives you a reference point of what the associates need and the customer will benefit from.”
