Walmart Selects Salt Lake City, Utah for New Fulfillment Center, Opening Summer 2022

1,000,000+ square-foot facility marks the retailers first fulfillment center in the state of Utah and will create approximately 450 new jobs

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Walmart announced plans to build a new fulfillment center in Salt Lake City to support the retailer’s growing eCommerce business. The 1,000,000+ square-foot facility, which is located at 990 N 6550 W, is scheduled to open Summer of 2022 and will create approximately 450 full-time, permanent jobs across the region. The purpose of the facility will be to fulfill online orders placed on Walmart.com.

“Walmart is excited to welcome our first fulfillment center in Salt Lake City to support our growing ecommerce fulfillment network,” said Steve Miller, senior vice president of Supply Chain Operations at Walmart U.S. “This new facility is the latest of example of Walmart’s commitment to offering customers fast shipping on items they need every day, and we look forward to further delivering on that promise with the development of this new, state-of-the-art facility.”

Walmart fulfillment centers are an important part of the retailer’s supply chain network. Unlike distribution centers, which are focused on receiving, storing and distributing product to Walmart stores, fulfillment centers are focused on storing millions of items that are picked, packed and shipped directly to customers as soon as next-day. The facility is part of a broader initiative to add more capacity into Walmart’s supply chain as the retailer prepares for growth. In Q3 of FY22, Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales grew 8% for the quarter and 87% over the past two years.

Walmart is currently hiring full-time positions for the fulfillment center, including the following leadership roles: General Manager; Environmental, Health and Safety Operations Manager; Maintenance Manager; and Human Resources Manager. Full-time positions qualify for Walmart’s total rewards and benefits plans, including medical, vision and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, a quarterly incentive program and access to a free college degree. Candidates can search open positions and complete applications online at careers.walmart.com.

Walmart operates 3 distribution centers, 59 retail stores and employs 20,000+ associates in the state of Utah. In FYE 21, stores, clubs and the Walmart Foundation gave $19.4 million in cash and in-kind donations to local Utah organizations.
