Walmart fulfillment center locations.
The published US footprint of Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) traced from Walmart corporate disclosures: 4 next-gen FCs open, 1 planned in Stockton CA in 2026, plus the wider network Walmart cites in its own communications. Addresses where Walmart published them, and an honest accounting of where the public information runs out.
Why there is no official WFS facility directory.
Walmart does not publish a customer-facing or seller-facing list of WFS FCs the way Amazon publishes fulfillment center codes in Seller Central. The picture has to be assembled from corporate news posts and Business Wire releases.
Walmart has a two-layer fulfillment story. The next-generation FCs are the high-tech, high-density-storage facilities Walmart has announced individually since 2022. Walmart corporate news has published full street addresses for two of them (Joliet IL and Greencastle PA) and city-state pairs for the other two (McCordsville IN and Lancaster TX). A fifth was announced for Stockton CA, targeted for 2026.
The wider distribution network, which Walmart cites as 150+ distribution centers plus 40+ dedicated e-commerce fulfillment facilities, is not publicly mapped to street addresses. Some industry coverage names the traditional WFS city-state pairs (Lancaster TX, Colton CA, Pedricktown NJ, Las Vegas NV, Orlando FL) but those are recycled across 3PL blog posts rather than primary disclosures.
We publish what Walmart has individually disclosed and flag what is industry-cited rather than corporate-cited. That keeps this page accurate even when the SEO-content sites in the niche publish address lists that don't trace to a real source.
The 4 open and 1 planned next-gen WFS FCs.
These are the high-automation FCs Walmart has announced with named corporate disclosures. Each compresses a manual 12-step fulfillment process into 5 automated steps, per Walmart's own language.

Traditional WFS sites cited in industry coverage.
Beyond the next-generation FCs above, WFS seller inventory routes through Walmart's broader distribution network. These city-state pairs appear in multiple 3PL blog summaries and in Walmart's general marketplace messaging. We publish the city-state level only; street addresses circulating online for these sites don't trace to Walmart corporate disclosure.

WFS vs FBA: the fee comparison that matters.
The single biggest reason to add WFS as a second channel is the fee gap. Walmart is generally 15% cheaper on fulfillment-plus-subscription-plus-storage for the same SKU mix, per industry comparisons. Headline rows below.
| Fee category | Amazon FBA | Walmart WFS | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller subscription | $39.99/mo Professional plan | $0 | Feedvisor 2026 fee guide |
| Referral fees | 8% to 45% by category | 6% to 15% by category | Emplicit marketplace fee comparison |
| Fulfillment fee floor | From $3.22 per unit | From $3.45 per unit (15% cheaper on average overall) | WFS pricing (Walmart Marketplace) |
| Monthly storage | $0.78/cu ft (Jan-Sep), $2.40/cu ft (Oct-Dec) | $0.75/cu ft year-round | Feedvisor 2026 fee guide |
| Long-term storage penalty | Aged-inventory surcharge starts at 6 months | No long-term storage fees for a year, per Walmart Marketplace Learn | Walmart Marketplace Learn WFS overview |
What a prep center needs to support both channels.
If you already use a prep center for FBA inbound and you want to test WFS as a second channel, the marginal cost is low IF the prep center can produce Walmart-compliant shipments. Two practical concerns.
- Inbound labeling regimes differ. FBA wants FNSKU labels applied per unit. WFS wants the manufacturer GTIN/UPC visible and intact, plus a Walmart-generated shipment label on the outer carton. Prep centers that handle FBA but have never processed WFS Inbound sometimes apply FNSKU stickers over UPCs out of habit, which causes WFS receiving issues. Ask explicitly whether your prep center has processed WFS Inbound shipments before.
- Carrier and routing decisions are different. FBA inbound uses Amazon Partnered Carrier rates by default. WFS Inbound uses Walmart Marketplace Inbound Solutions (Cross Border + domestic ground), with different LTL break-points and different palletization rules. A prep center that does FBA palletization well doesn't automatically do WFS palletization well; ask for examples.
Our verified prep centers are listed with their channel-support flags where the operator has confirmed multi-channel work. If you want a prep partner that handles both FBA and WFS, start a match and call that out as a requirement.
