The announcement was the culmination of an effort, supported by state, county and local officials, to strengthen Walmart’s supply chain network while creating more than 550 local full-time jobs. The new storage and cross-dock facility will be the fourth Walmart Distribution Center in the state. Once completed, it will span more than 2.5 million square feet. The distribution center, which will take approximately 14 months to build, will supply several regional distribution centers supporting approximately 800 Walmart stores in Alabama, Mississippi and other areas to the north. “We are excited about how this facility will help us serve customers from Alabama to the Great Lakes and the economic impact it will have through local job creation and future economic development in the Mobile area,” said Jeff Breazeale, Walmart’s vice president of Direct Import Logistics. “We are grateful to the State of Alabama, Mobile County, the City of Mobile and the Alabama State Port Authority for the support we have received throughout this process, and we look forward to a strong relationship with the community for years to come.” During the announcement ceremony, which was hosted by APM Terminals Mobile, the Alabama State Port Authority and the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce, state, county and local officials highlighted the many benefits the new distribution center will bring to the area, including increased regional economic growth and local career opportunities with a path for advancement.
