Walmart Acquires Small Society iOS App Development Agency

Walmart has announced that they've acquired Small Society, an iOS app development agency that worked on iPhone apps for Starbucks, Zipcar, and Whole Foods.

As we got to know the Small Society founders, they impressed us with their understanding of mobile platforms, their passion for building great products, and their awareness of the unique opportunities for mobile in the retail space. They've delivered apps for huge brands, from the Democratic National Committee to Starbucks, all from a small office over a kebab restaurant in downtown Portland. We quickly realized that Small Society could be a potent addition to our existing @WalmartLabs Oregon office.

Walmart plans to use the newly acquired talent to impact the mobile shopping experience.
