Walmart Launches On-Demand Early Morning Delivery; Plans Third Milk Processing Hub In Texas

Walmart Inc WMT said it is planning to open its third owned and operated milk processing facility in Robinson, Texas.

The new facility, expected to be opened in 2026 will create about 400 new jobs in the Robinson community.

"We're excited to be able to provide Texas and its surrounding states with high-quality milk sourced primarily from Texas dairy farmers," said vice president of Manufacturing at Walmart Bruce Heckman.

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. 

The products from the facility are expected to serve more than 750 Walmart stores and Sam's Clubs throughout the South including Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and parts of Arkansas and Mississippi.

Also Walmart has launched on-demand early morning delivery, enabling customers to access fashion to furniture and beyond in as soon as 30 minutes.

The retail giant already has features including Late-Night Express Delivery, Live Shopper for real-time communication with Shoppers and On-Demand Delivery for same-day convenience.
