Walmart announces biggest-ever distribution center for groceries

“Walmart’s high-tech grocery distribution center will include game-changing innovations that are radically disrupting the supply chain, getting products onto shelves for our customers even faster, while saving time for our associates,” said David Guggina, senior vice president, automation and innovation at Walmart U.S.

“We’re proud to be opening Walmart’s largest automated grocery distribution center in Spartanburg County and look forward to bringing new STEM job opportunities to the region.”

The high-tech distribution center is part of a larger investment the retailer announced earlier this year to double down on the use of automation technology in its supply chain.

The retailer announced its first automated grocery distribution center in 2018 and has since added new innovative solutions that reduce handling costs and improve service to stores and customers.

Today’s news comes just months after the retailer announced its plans to add automation in more than half of its regional distribution centers and market fulfillment centers in select stores. The retailer has also made investments in drones and autonomous vehicles to support last-mile deliveries.

“We’re thrilled to bring our high-tech grocery distribution center to the thriving logistics hub of Spartanburg County,” said Tim Cooper, senior vice president, supply chain operations at Walmart U.S.

“The new distribution center will be critical to ensuring our stores are stocked with the freshest grocery items to provide convenience and quality at everyday low prices to customers and communities in the state of South Carolina.”

2024? Are we really going to be living in a civilized world by then?

Gross. Shop local. Get your produce from local farms and farmers markets.

Way healthier than the human poop fertilized garbage wal mart sells.

I don’t get Walmart, the world is going to hell in a hand basket...and they are building like crazy. I’m from bentonville and they have a newer distribution center that is... gigantic. They are building a new home office campus that is amazingly huge. Walmart plans ahead and doesn't often make mistakes in this department, so... what do they know? I don’t get it.

Dont like big box stores anymore. Too much running around

They are one of the chosen companies to exists post-Agenda 2030

I bet it is fully automated with robots....

I know right!

Talk about optimism! LMBO

They know all these nutters spewing teotwawki is pure bs.

Eventually run by the military.

Consolidation of food. Power to ration.

You'll be living in the distribution center!

Funnel all food through one corp/gov operation and then they have some real control. No vaxxer card? No eat.

The other choice is get the vaxxer card and die.

Nope.

That's right. If these assholes what to make some money,
they need to put some product on the shelves.

Well damn... they can get supplies to build a mega warehouse but builders are struggling to finish homes?! Hmmm... this has F e m a written all over it. I live way too close to Spartanburg. Makes me uneasy.

whomever (whoever) controls the food, controls the people

it's not uncommon for people to have groceries delivered
in order to avoid crowds that might have the virus.

ask your ups or fedex driver about all the grocery packages
that they have delivered for over a year now.

Probably trafficking more children like always.

Their competition is being systematically snuffed out

All the Walmart and Amazon construction you see going on is owned by the government. This is all part of the reset going on right under our noses

The Mormon church is going to do this too. Convince its members to give up their food stores, consolidate under the guise of helping all - better distribution for all.

It's a trap. Once you give up your food you are now put in a line for a handout.

And, the higher ups will cherry-pick through all of it taking what they want.

The Nazis ate well while the people suffered and starved.

that's just big enough to store all the booster shots that will be needed for the population of the east coast.

im sure they will build one big for the west coast too..

might be room for a couple boxes of crackers.

This.

In a few years, only a very few select businesses will operate.
