A report says a large Walmart distribution center in South Jersey will close next month as the company moves its operations to a neighboring state.
Employees at the facility at Interstate 295 exit 7 in Pedrickstown, Salem County, were notified of the news earlier this month.
The closure comes as the nation’s largest store prepares to open a new 1. 5 million-square-foot facility in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, about 25 miles west of the Gettysburg area.
ROI-NJ. com reports that the company expects as many Pedricktown workers as possible to move into the new building, providing them with a $7,500 bonus and relocation reimbursement.
About two hundred employees at Walmart’s Salem County facility were laid off in March 2023 as the company scaled back its weekday and weekend operations.
A Walmart spokesperson posted the post:
To deliver packages to consumers faster, we are moving operations from our classic distribution center to 2 Gateway Blvd. in Pedricktown, New Jersey, to our new logoed next-generation distribution center in Greencastle.
Walmart plans to open 3 more fulfillment centers in Illinois, Texas, and Indiana in the coming months.
