New facility will create 1,000+ jobs and use advanced automation and technology to increase fulfillment capacity. Walmart opened its fifth next-generation fulfillment center, a more than 900,000-square-foot facility in Stockton that will create more than 1,000 jobs and expand the retailer’s ability to provide faster shipping and delivery to customers across California and the West Coast. The new facility represents the latest step in Walmart’s transformation of its supply chain, bringing associates together with advanced automation, technology and machine learning to move products faster and more efficiently. The technology enables Walmart to materially improve storage capacity and increase the number of customer orders the facility can fulfill each day compared with a traditional fulfillment center. Strategically located in California’s Central Valley, the Stockton facility adds significant fulfillment capacity closer to West Coast customers, helping Walmart expand faster shipping options on millions of items while strengthening its broader store and fulfillment network.
