Walmart plans to expand its Baytown, Texas supply chain campus with a new 1 million-square-foot distribution center to support the retailer’s growing supply chain network.
The facility, located at 4633 Borusan Road, is the retailer’s fourth in Baytown and is set to open in the fall, bringing the total size of the campus to over 5 million square feet. The expansion will create an additional 300 full-time jobs due to growth across multiple shifts.
“Walmart is excited to expand our Baytown campus and another step in Walmart’s continued investment in the state,” said Mike Gray, SVP of supply chain operations.
“The Baytown campus and our other regional facilities continue to bring exciting new career opportunities within Walmart’s modern supply chain to hundreds of residents of the Houston area – all while helping us provide our local customers their everyday necessities with more variety and efficiency than ever before.”
“A highly skilled labor pool in the Houston area, and Texas more broadly, makes Baytown a prime destination for Walmart to continue expanding our supply chain network,” said Karisa Sprague, SVP of U.S. supply chain people for Walmart U.S. “We’re excited to continue to work with the community and government officials to bring new career opportunities to Southeast Texas.”
The company operates 19 distribution centers, 593 retail stores and employs more than 185,000 associates in Texas. In FYE 21, stores, clubs and the Walmart Foundation gave $129.2 million in cash and in-kind donations to local Texas organizations.
Each week, approximately 230 million customers and members visit approximately 10,500 stores and clubs under 46 banners in 24 countries and e-commerce websites. With fiscal year 2022 revenue of $573 billion, Walmart employs 2.3 million associates worldwide.
