Walmart opens new next gen fulfilment centre

Retail giant Walmart has opened a new next generation 1.5m sq ft fulfilment centre in Dallas, Texas

The Lancaster fulfilment centre is the third of four next generation facilities announced last year with a fifth facility recently announced that will open in 2026.

These next generation facilities bring a combination of people, technology and machine learning together to achieve faster shipping and delivery, while increasing Walmart.com order fulfilment capacity.

Karisa Sprague, senior vice president, Fulfillment Network Operations for Walmart US, said: “Our next generation fulfilment centres are the perfect example of how we are a people-led, tech-powered retailer.”
