Facility will service 25 Sam’s Club locations, create 250 new Jacksonville-based jobs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, associates, elected officials and community members celebrated the grand opening of a new 1-million-square-foot distribution center in Jacksonville. The facility located at 1511 Zoo Parkway, receives and processes items for delivery to 18 Sam’s Club locations across Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as well as seven clubs in Puerto Rico. Located just 10 minutes from the Port of Jacksonville, the facility also stores and sorts imported goods for delivery to four distribution centers across the Southeast.

“Jacksonville is continuing to build its reputation as a logistics hub and the place to be to reach customers throughout the Southeast,” JAXUSA Partnership President Aundra Wallace said. “We appreciate Walmart investing in our region and look forward to the company’s success here.”

“We’re proud to create a new slate of jobs in our community. Each position brings a pathway for opportunity at Walmart and Sam’s Club,” said Frank Herrera, general manager of the new facility. “Today’s ribbon cutting is a celebration of our commitment to our associates, our community and our future.”

Full-time associates qualify for Walmart’s total rewards and benefits plans, including medical, vision and dental insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, an associate stock purchase plan and access to company-paid college degrees and skills certificates through Walmart’s Live Better U.

During the grand opening ceremony, the retailer celebrated its commitment to the community by presenting $5,000 grants to Keep Jacksonville Beautiful and the Police Athletic League of Jacksonville. In fiscal year 2024, Walmart, Sam's Club and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $122 million in product donations and grants to a variety of local causes and organizations across Florida.
