Walmart opens first owned-and-operated case-ready beef facility
Dive Brief: Walmart on Friday opened its inaugural owned-and-operated case-ready beef facility. Plans for the Olathe, Kansas, facility were first announced back in 2023, with the state's governor saying at the time that Walmart would invest $257 million in the plant. This latest move by Walmart furthers its effort to grow a resilient end-to-end supply chain and underscores how it's investing more in U.S.-made and sourced goods. Dive Insight: The newly debuted case-ready beef facility spans more than 300,000 square feet and is a significant step in Walmart's ongoing work to create an Angus beef supply chain - a goal Walmart announced in 2019. The facility will process and package fresh beef into case-ready cuts that are "ready for retail" and then shipped directly to Walmart distribution centers to serve stores across the Midwest, according to the announcement. The beef will be sourced directly from Sustainable Beef LLC, based in North Platte, Nebraska, which Walmart made an equity investment in in 2022 as part of its work establishing an Angus beef supply chain. Walmart's new facility creates more than 600 jobs for the surrounding communities. "This is the first case-ready facility fully owned and operated by Walmart, and that milestone ensures we're able to bring more consistency, more transparency and more value to our customers," John Laney, executive vice president of food at Walmart U.S., said in the announcement. Walmart undertook a similar effort in March 2024 when it announced plans to open its third owned-and-operated milk-processing facility in 2026. Like the beef facility, this center aims to improve transparency and supply chain resiliency, according to Walmart. Across the board, Walmart is continuing to beef up its supply chain and distribution network. In April, the retailer opened a 1 million-square-foot Sam's Club distribution center in Florida and, a month later, purchased a 1 million-square-foot distribution center in Utah. The opening of the beef facility also continues Walmart's commitment to U.S. manufacturing and its pledge to invest $350 billion in U.S.-made products by 2031, according to the press release.

Walmart Opens First Owned and Operated Case-Ready Beef Facility in Olathe, Kansas
OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Walmart announced the grand opening of its first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas. This milestone reinforces Walmart's commitment to building a more resilient, transparent and efficient supply chain for Angus beef — helping Walmart provide quality beef options that meet demand and bring tremendous value to customers across the Midwest. 'The opening of our new facility in Olathe, Kansas, is centered on delivering more of what our customers want — affordable food and quality they can trust,' said John Laney, executive vice president, Food, Walmart U.S. 'This is the first case-ready facility fully owned and operated by Walmart, and that milestone ensures we're able to bring more consistency, more transparency and more value to our customers.' In 2022, Walmart made an equity investment in Sustainable Beef LLC in North Platte, Nebraska, as part of its continued efforts in creating an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef. Sustainable Beef's majority ownership is local and producer-centric, with cattle sourced from no more than a 250-mile radius to the plant in a region that has exceptionally high-quality cattle. Now, the newly opened, 300,000+ square-foot, state-of-the-art facility will package and distribute Angus cuts sourced directly from Sustainable Beef LLC to stores across the Midwest, bringing even greater transparency to customers seeking quality beef options at Walmart stores in the region. 'Kansas has long been at the forefront of the agriculture industry, and Walmart's investment in Olathe is further driving our success,' said Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. 'Through food production and supply chain innovations, we are proud to partner with Walmart to transform how we feed communities across our state and the region.' The new facility will fulfill demand for quality beef in the region and is creating over 600 Walmart jobs for Olathe and the surrounding community, delivering a positive and long-lasting impact to the region. The facility 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. The facility is also expected to generate increased business for suppliers and service providers, further amplifying the facility's effect on the community. 'Walmart's decision to open its new case-ready facility in Olathe isn't just a business investment — it's a vote of confidence in our community and our workforce,' said Olathe Mayor John Bacon. 'With over 600 new jobs being created, this facility will fuel local economic growth and reinforce Olathe's position as a regional agricultural leader. We're proud to work with Walmart and build more economic opportunity for our residents.' During today's grand opening celebration, Walmart awarded grants to the following local organizations: Kansas Special Olympics – $35,000 Special Olympics Kansas provides year-round sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, promoting physical fitness, courage and friendship. Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City – $20,000 The Boys & Girls Club inspires kids to live out their potential by providing safe, fun and enriching after-school and summer programs focused on academics, leadership and healthy lifestyles. Friends In Service of Heroes – $30,000 Friends In Service of Heroes is dedicated to supporting veterans and their families by providing life-changing resources, mobility assistance and emotional support to those who have served our country. Mayor Bacon's Book Club – $5,000 Mayor Bacon's Book Club fosters a love of reading among Olathe's young students by providing free books and encouraging literacy through engaging events and community partnerships. In FY24, Walmart stores, clubs and the Walmart Foundation donated $9.6 million to local Kansas charities. The opening of the new Olathe facility is a pivotal step in Walmart's strategy to build an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef. With more customers seeking greater transparency about where their food comes from, this investment demonstrates Walmart's commitment to delivering traceable, high-quality products while strengthening supply chain resiliency and control. These efforts also support Walmart's commitment to U.S. Manufacturing and pledge to invest $350 billion in U.S.-made products by 2031. Over two thirds of Walmart's annual spend is on products made, grown or assembled in the U.S. We encourage suppliers with a product made, grown or assembled in the U.S. to apply to attend Walmart's Annual Open Call event.

These are the 100 best food trucks in the US, per Yelp—and 25 are from the same state
We've come a long way since the days when food trucks only doled out greasy fries or soggy tacos out of its side door. Today, mobile eateries serve fare just as delicious as you'd find in a restaurant, and the lack of overhead means they can take creative risks while keeping prices low. Talented chefs can be "at the wheel" and food truck villages have found a sort of permanent impermanence in cities like Portland, Oregon. With all that in mind, a new Yelp round-up lists the 100 best food trucks in the country and, surprisingly, 25-percent of these on-the-go restos can be found in Hawaii. Yes, the Aloha State dominated the Yelp ranking, even claiming the No. 1 spot with Tony's Catch of Kapa'a, Hawaii—the easygoing vendor is a local favorite for its seared ahi tostadas, carne asada fries, mahi sandwiches, poke bowls and more. It's conveniently located near both the beach and a bike path, making it the perfect quick, no-frills meal that lets you keep surfing, swimming or biking. Outside of Hawaii, Austin, TX, Portland, OR and Los Angeles, CA revealed themselves to be fellow food-truck strongholds—it obviously helps to have a warm climate, with diners lining up al fresco for their food. The roundup also shows that Yelpers appreciated fusion foods that creatively merge cuisines to form a new mashup, like JoJo's Hot Chicken (No. 4 on the list), which serves finger-licking Nashville hot chicken but with a zesty Ethiopian flair. The number two spot, Jim's Smokehouse, is located in a small park in Austin and serves barbecued Angus brisket that has been smoked for 12 hours. Taco Libre on Kauai rounds out the top three, known for its signature dish the "Mexi Moco," which is inspired by Hawaii's traditional loco moco dish (rice layered with hamburger patties and egg that's smothered in a savory gravy), but done up with Mexican flair.
