Walmart associates came together with elected officials June 15 in McCordsville, Indiana to celebrate the grand opening of the company’s brand new 2.2 million-square-foot fulfillment center, Walmart’s largest fulfillment center to date.

The McCordsville venue is the second of four next-generation Walmart facilities that utilize machine learning to ship products faster while increasing the fulfillment capacity of Walmart.com. The next-gen fulfillment centers can reportedly reach 95% of the U.S. population. Additionally, the facility will create over 1,000 new jobs.

“The McCordsville grand opening marks a major milestone in our supply chain modernization journey,” said Karisa Sprague, senior vice president of Fulfillment Network Operations for Walmart U.S. “With more customers shopping online, we’re leveraging state-of-the-art technology to increase speed of delivery all while creating tech empowered career opportunities for our associates.”

To commemorate the grand opening of the fulfillment center, Walmart made two $5,000 donations to local charities: Riley Children’s Foundation and Mt. Vernon Education Foundation. During the 2022 fiscal year alone, Walmart contributed more than $48.8 million to non-profit organizations in Indiana.
