Walmart Cuts 2 Fulfillment Sites, Impacting 200 Jobs

Walmart is shuttering two fulfillment centers as the retail giant further restructures its supply chain.

The company is closing an e-commerce fulfillment center in the Chicago suburb of Matteson, Ill., impacting 111 employees, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice filed March 27. The closure comes as Walmart relocates operations at the warehouse to its 1.1-million-square-foot “next-gen” fulfillment center in Chicago-area Joliet, Ill.

Employees were informed of the closure of the 150,000-square-foot “ORD” facility in February and will have an opportunity to transfer to other facilities nearby or nationwide.
