Enhancing Supply Chain Resiliency<\/b><\/p>\n

\nSourcing milk directly from local dairy farmers, the Robinson facility will process and bottle a variety of milk options \u2014 including gallon, half-gallon, whole, 2%, 1%, skim, and 1% chocolate milk \u2014 for Walmart\u2019s Great Value and Sam\u2019s Club Member\u2019s Mark brands. The new operation will supply more than 650 Walmart stores and Sam\u2019s Clubs across the South Central U.S., helping ensure customers and members have consistent access to high-quality, affordable milk.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe opening of our new facility in Robinson, Texas, will help us deliver more of what our customers want \u2014 fresh, affordable food and quality they can trust,\u201d said John Laney, Executive Vice President, Food, Walmart U.S. \u201cIt will bolster our capacity to meet the demand for high-quality milk, make our supply chain more resilient, while increasing freshness by reducing the time from dairy farm to shelf, bringing more consistency, more transparency and more value to our customers. We\u2019re excited about what this means for Walmart customers, regional farmers, and the Robinson community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investing in U.S. Manufacturing and Local Sourcing<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThis milestone reinforces Walmart\u2019s commitment to building a more transparent and efficient supply chain for dairy products, helping Walmart meet customer demand for high-quality, affordable milk across the South Central U.S.<\/p>\n

\nIt follows the company\u2019s investment in its first milk processing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and its second milk processing facility in Valdosta, Georgia, which opened last year. In addition, Walmart has two case-ready beef facilities in Thomasville, Georgia, and Olathe, Kansas. These efforts also support Walmart\u2019s commitment to U.S. manufacturing and its pledge to invest $350 billion in products made, grown, or assembled in the U.S. by 2031.<\/p>\n

\nIn FY2025, more than two\u2011thirds of Walmart U.S.\u2019s total product spend was on items made, grown or assembled in the United States.<\/p>\n
