Walmart Inc. of Bentonville bought some tracts of land in Tontitown earlier this month.
That’s no surprise, but the sellers of the tracts were familiar faces to fans of reality television. Warehouse Space LLC, the selling subsidiary, is led by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of the TLC series “19 Kids & Counting” from a decade ago.
Walmart paid $4.7 million for slightly more than 16 acres on West Henri De Tonti Road, lots the Duggars had acquired for $600,000. The land is adjacent to Champions Motorcars, which is owned by the Duggars.
Walmart also paid $5.66 million at around the same time for 27.45 acres adjacent to the land it bought from the Duggars. The seller of that land was Five J Farms LLC, led by William Jackson Butt II and James McClelland Jr., which had acquired it for $570,000 in 1996.
