Walmart Canada Opens a Major New Fulfillment Centre in Milton

Milton's growing role as a supply chain and e-commerce hub took another big step this month. Walmart Canada has officially opened a major new fulfillment centre in Milton, a 750,000-square-foot facility that will ship online orders to customers across the country. According to Walmart Canada, the company marked the grand opening on June 11, 2026.

What Happened

The new Milton fulfillment centre is part of Walmart Canada's broader plan, announced in 2025, to invest $6.5 billion in modernizing its stores and supply chain network across the country. The Milton site is one of the newest pieces of that national network, designed to handle a large volume of online orders.

Walmart Canada says the facility currently employs about 140 associates and is built to store more than 43,000 unique products and roughly 65,000 pallets. The company notes the centre will help improve delivery of large, bulky items — such as patio sets, furniture and televisions — to customers across Canada, with room to grow in the years ahead.

Key Details

Community Impact

A facility of this size brings new jobs to Milton and reinforces the town's position as a logistics and e-commerce centre within the Greater Toronto and Halton area. Milton's location along major highways and rail corridors has made it attractive for large distribution operations, and continued investment of this kind can support local employment and the broader regional economy. For residents, it also means another major employer setting up in the community.

Background
