HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 5 Executive Summary

• The District of Columbia has long lacked sufficient retail options for its diverse and growing base of residents. For years, District residents have had to travel to surrounding jurisdictions to shop for basic goods, costing the District lost sales taxes and undercutting the City’s efforts to support more vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods. Unmet retail potential in Washington, DC is estimated at over $3 billion per year.

• Walmart’s arrival in the District in December 2013 is stemming that negative trend, while delivering an array of other benefits to the District and its residents. One year after the first two Walmart stores opened in the District, a study commissioned by Walmart and conducted by HR&A Advisors defines these benefits.

HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 6 Executive Summary

• Walmart can save a DC family of four approximately $1,300 per year – 18% of the average DC household’s annual bill – on food and other typical grocery store items.1 In addition, each District Walmart will bring at affordable prices to areas identified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as “food deserts.” Every District Walmart store is or will be in locations where healthy food shopping options make up less than 10% of the current neighborhood retail offerings.

• Walmart will generate more than $6 million in taxes to the District this year based on the operations of its 2 open stores. These net new revenues can help the District meet a wide array of needs. By way of example $6 million in District revenue could support the annual costs of: • Salaries for nearly 120 teachers or police officers; • Refurbishments of 6 playgrounds; or • Debt service on bonds for the construction of 6 new or significantly modernized community centers.2

1 - Based on HR&A analysis of industry benchmark market comparison data published in 2013. 2 - Assumes a level-debt service payment over a 20 year period with a 5% interest rate.

HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 7 Executive Summary

• Construction of the first two stores and the Fort Totten store, which is currently under construction, supports 630 direct and multiplier jobs. In addition to direct construction industry employment, ancillary jobs are supported in the architecture, , food service, and health care industries.

• Walmart’s two stores employ more than 700 people, of which 65% are District residents. Walmart is responsible for half the growth in retail jobs in the District in 2013. Walmart stores in the District hire more people per foot of store space than other grocery or convenience stores on average. A higher percentage of Walmart employees live in the same ward as the store than is typical for all employment in the 2 wards with open stores.

• 810 total jobs (direct employment by Walmart plus multiplier jobs) are supported by Walmart’s first two stores. In addition to direct retail industry employment, ancillary jobs are supported in the real estate, food service, and health care industries.

HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 8 Executive Summary

• Walmart is catalyzing additional community investment in parts of the District that need it. More than 26,000 SF square feet of additional new development – including restaurants, , and retailers – and more than 300 new residential units are directly attributable to the open Walmart stores.

• Walmart and the Walmart Foundation’s support for District community-based social service organizations has also generated significant economic and fiscal benefits for the city. HR&A estimates that Walmart and the Walmart Foundation’s $14 million philanthropic investment in the District between FYE 2010 and FYE 2014 has generated 160 jobs and $16.5 million in total compensation at more than 200 organizations.* These organizations generate additional benefits to the District through their activities.

• For example, the Walmart Foundation’s $3 million investment in the Washington@Work customer service training program was created to help District residents get the skills and training they need to gain employment. The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region has reported that Washington@Work has resulted in 618 job placements and 30 promotions since 2011.

*Note: Walmart's fiscal year starts Feb. 1 and ends Jan. 31.

HR&A Advisors, Inc. Economic Impacts of Walmart on Washington, DC 51 There is a precedent of big retail development in the District revitalizing neighborhoods.

Columbia Heights is located in Northwest DC and is considered today to be one of the District’s most diverse and economically strong neighborhoods. Facing economic challenges between the 1970’s and 1990’s, the area was designated an Enterprise Zone in 1997 and Columbia Heights received a range of tax-incentives and District financing to encourage private development. Redevelopment was focused around the Columbia Heights Metro stop, which opened in 1999 and served to anchor future residential, retail, and commercial development.

In early 2008, DCUSA opened the largest retail development in DC at the time, with 890,000 SF of retail adjacent to the Columbia Heights Metro. The retail building is anchored by a two- story Target, along with other retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, a Best Buy, and a Washington Sports Club. Since opening, the DCUSA site has served to anchor the development of 1,300 multifamily units with ground floor retail, and a 55,000 SF Giant open 24 hours a day.
