More jobs are coming to north Mississippi where Walmart has plans to build a new fulfillment center.
The company on Thursday said it is spending about $90 million to build a 1,000,000 square foot warehouse in Olive Branch that’s set to open in the spring. The new facility will store merchandise that is picked, packed and shipped directly to customers, Walmart said.
“Walmart is proud to welcome its newest fulfillment center to the city of Olive Branch as we continue to grow our national supply chain network and eCommerce capabilities in the mid-South,” said Steve Miller, senior vice president of supply chain operations for Walmart U.S.
The project will create 250 full-time jobs in the DeSoto County area, which is part of the Memphis, Tennessee, metropolitan area.
