Walmart plans $400M Texas distribution center

The retailer expects to break ground on the more than 744,000-square-foot facility in Cibolo this February.

Walmart plans to build a 744,433-square-foot distribution center in Cibolo, Texas, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation document dated Oct. 28.

The estimated $400 million investment — which includes office space — is set to break ground in February, per the filing. The distribution center has an expected completion date of Aug. 1, 2029.

The new build comes after the retailer noted earlier this year that it expects supply chain spending to “peak” over the next two years. Specifically, Walmart has been automating its distribution network, with the technology meant to help the company cut back on shipping costs due to better operational efficiencies.
