Walmart opens people led and technology powered next generation fulfilment centre in Greencastle, Pennsylvania

Walmart last week opened a new 1.5 million square foot fulfilment centre ten miles north of Hagerstown, located at 1915 Ebberts Spring Court in Greencastle, Pennsylvania.

"This is an exciting day for Greencastle, and we are thrilled to be the new home of Walmart's newest state-of-the-art fulfilment centre,” says Antrim Township Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman, Patrick Heraty.

"This facility will be a great benefit to the residents in our county and the greater south-central Pennsylvania region."

This is Walmart’s fourth next generation facility.

A fifth was recently announced that will open in 2026. These facilities bring the combination of people, technology and machine learning together to achieve faster shipping and delivery, while increasing Walmart.com order fulfilment capacity.

The latest one will contribute to expanded access to the retailer’s next- or two-day shipping.

Combined with the rest of its fulfilment network, these centres will enable the retailer to reach 95% of the US population with the service. Walmart Fulfillment Services, Walmart’s end-to-end third-party fulfilment service, will also leverage the space to fulfil Marketplace items.

“Walmart is paving the way for good jobs and great careers in the south-central Pennsylvania region with the Greencastle fulfilment centre. These tech powered jobs will drive the future of our continued promise of speedy shipping and delivery for customers on the east coast,” says Karisa Sprague, Senior Vice President, Fulfillment Network Operations for Walmart U.S.

“Our next generation fulfilment centres are the perfect example of how we are a people led, tech powered retailer.”

The Greencastle facility will be home to more than 1,000 Walmart associates. The retailer is currently hiring for a variety of positions, including tech focused jobs.

“We’re proud to create even more opportunities for associates to build a career at Walmart. Associates at the Greencastle facility will work with cutting-edge technology and play a pivotal role in increasing shipping speeds for our customers,” says Rich Hanna, Director of Operations, Fulfillment Center #7381, Walmart U.S.

“I’m excited that we are at the forefront of what’s next for Walmart as we continue to modernise the business for our customers.”

Walmart serves Pennsylvania customers at 159 retail units and online.
