Walmart Expands Automated Distribution Centers to Strengthen Grocery Dominance

The retail giant is modernizing its supply chain with advanced technology to enhance efficiency and meet growing customer demand.

Walmart is building five new high-tech perishable distribution centers and upgrading four existing ones.
The new and upgraded centers will add around 2,000 jobs and significantly increase fresh product capacity.
Automation will transform physically demanding jobs into higher-tech roles, improving job satisfaction and career growth.
The modernized facilities will allow Walmart to better predict demand and reduce costs by optimizing inventory management.
Walmart aims to have about 65% of its stores serviced by automation by the end of fiscal year 2026.
