Walmart Building $350 Million Milk Processing Plant in Georgia

The Valdosta, Ga., dairy facility will provide milk throughout Georgia and neighboring states, serving more than 750 Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs in the region.

Walmart has announced it’s building a $350 million milk processing facility in Valdosta, Ga., which will break ground later this year. Scheduled to open in 2025, the plant will increase Walmart’s capacity to meet high-quality milk demand while making its supply chain more resilient.

Using ingredients sourced from local farmers, the plant will process and bottle a variety of milk options, including gal, half-gal, whole, 2%, 1%, skim, and 1% chocolate milk under the Great Value and Sam’s Club’s Member’s Mark brands, for more than 750 Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs in the Southeast.
