McCownGordon is working with US supermarket giant Walmart to design and build a 330,000-square-foot high-volume case-ready beef facility in Kansas.
Walmart announced that it will open its first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility in 2025.
The facility will package and distribute cuts of the higher-grade Angus beef from Sustainable Beef LLC.
Walmart announced its intention to develop an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef in 2019, to provide customers with more options for higher-quality meat.
The retail giant made strategic moves to achieve their goal by including an equity investment in Sustainable Beef LLC last year.
McCownGordon is leading the design and construction of the new facility in Olathe, Kansas, in collaboration with ESI Design Services, a construction company committed to building sustainable food facilities across the US, the new facility results from a $257 million investment by Walmart.
The project is expected to break ground later this year and will create over 1,000 design, fabrication, and construction jobs and is set for completion in 2025.
