Walmart is planning to build a 900,000-square-foot next-generation fulfillment center in Stockton, CA, a mega-warehouse that combines skilled workers with AI-driven machine learning programs and automated order-picking systems that speeds the shipments of good.
The facility, which will be located at 150 Mariposa Road and is expected to open in 2026, will be the fifth next-gen facility that Walmart is opening in the U.S. to process the fulfillment of online orders.
