Walmart Opens $350M Texas Milk Plant, Adding 400 Jobs
Walmart invested over $350 million to launch its third owned milk processing plant in Robinson, Texas, spanning more than 300,000 square feet and creating over 400 jobs. The facility will process and bottle multiple milk varieties for over 650 Walmart and Sam’s Club locations in the South Central U.S.
1. Plant Opening and Investment
Walmart opened its third wholly owned milk processing facility in Robinson, Texas, following investments of over $350 million. The more than 300,000-square-foot plant sources milk from local dairy farmers and creates more than 400 jobs.
2. Production Capacity and Reach
Equipped to handle and bottle whole, 2%, 1%, skim, and chocolate milk under Great Value and Sam’s Club Member’s Mark labels, the facility will supply over 650 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across the South Central U.S. This expansion shortens transit times from dairy farms to store shelves, boosting freshness.
3. Strategic Context
This plant is part of Walmart’s pledge to invest $350 billion in U.S.-made products by 2031 and follows two earlier dairy plants in Indiana and Georgia. The move enhances supply-chain resilience and supports Walmart’s strategy to increase private-label freshness and cost efficiency.
