Walmart opened its “first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility” in Kansas, aimed at ensuring an efficient supply chain for Angus beef, the company said in a June 27 statement.
The 300,000-plus square-foot facility, located in Olathe, “will process fresh beef into case-ready cuts, packaged, and ready for retail, which are then shipped directly to Walmart distribution centers to serve stores in the Midwest,” it said.
