\r\nIn June this year, Walmart opened its largest fulfillment center to date – a 2.2 million square foot space 20 miles northeast of Indianapolis. Eventually, this network of next-generation fulfillment centers will enable the retailer to reach 95% of the U.S. population with next of two-day shipping, the company says.
“The announcement of our high-tech fulfillment center in Stockton commemorates yet another significant stride in our omni-channel retail efforts,” said Karisa Sprague, senior vice president, fulfillment network operations for Walmart U.S. “In response to increasing customer demand for online shopping, we are implementing technology to enhance delivery speed and accuracy for our customers, all the while creating new and exciting technology-empowered career paths for our associates.”
