Walmart recently announced another investment in a new food processing facility.

A new milk processing facility in Texas will open in 2026. Walmart said the facility will support nearly 400 jobs in the community and allow the company to meet growing demand from customers.

The facility will process and bottle a variety of milk options, including Gallon, Half Gallon, Whole, 2%, 1%, Skim, and 1% Chocolate Milk for Walmart’s Great Value and Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark brands.

Walmart said the investments are aimed at delivering increased transparency about where products come from and ensuring supply for grocery essentials. It opened its first milk processing facility in Indiana in 2018, and its second facility in Georgia is expected to open in 2025.

Additional investments include opening its first case-ready beef facility in Georgia, building a second case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas, and making investments with Sustainable Beef LLC in North Platte, Nebraska.
