Walmart

A central location and hyperconnected transportation network are two benefits Walmart leverages for its distribution center in Temple, Texas.

In 2019, Walmart celebrated the 25th anniversary of its Central Texas distribution center, which encompasses more than 1 million square feet on the north side of Temple.

Walmart is the world’s largest private employer, with 2.2 million associates worldwide.

Temple’s Walmart distribution center thrives thanks to a transportation network that connects drivers to major interstates within 15 minutes.

Freight handlers, inventory managers and some 755 full-time employees maintain an effective flow of goods thanks to the facility’s advantageous location. Drivers access I-35 in 10 minutes and reach I-14 in 15 minutes. Five nearby state highways contribute to ease and efficiency.

Approximately 28 million people are located within a 2.5-hour drive, but accessibility is just one perk for Temple logistics and distribution operations. Available and skilled workforce are at the ready, and financial incentives add to appealing low operating costs that come in 15% less than the national average.
