The facility will package and distribute cuts of the higher grade Angus beef from Sustainable Beef LLC. Walmart had acquired a minority stake in the ranch-based beef processing plant last year, which is expected to be functional in late-2024.

The company’s investment plans come at a time when consumers have been trading down to cheaper private labels due to high inflation.
