Walmart to Open $41M Distribution Facility in Shepherdsville, Kentucky

by Camren Skelton September 4, 2018

SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY. — Walmart will invest $41 million to open a new distribution facility in Shepherdsville, a city roughly 20 miles south of Louisville in Bullitt County. The Arkansas-based retailer will lease a 720,000-square-foot building within Velocity 65 Trade Center, an industrial park located off Interstate 65 along Velocity Way. The center will create 400 full-time jobs upon opening later this fall, and will eventually employ several hundred temporary workers, including seasonal employees. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority has preliminarily approved Walmart for tax incentives up to $3 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows the company to keep a portion of its investment over the agreement term through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets. Indianapolis-based Browning Investments is the developer and owner of Velocity 65 Trade Center.

ATLANTA — While the development pipeline for industrial real estate is at peak capacity, retail’s new store inventory is taking a back seat. Paul Xhajanka, division real estate manager of Kroger, said that his company is breaking from the past when it would open hundreds of stores a year. “If you look at our store count for the next three to five years, we’re only going to open 20 to 25 stores across our various platforms,” said Xhajanka, referring to Kroger’s portfolio of grocery brands, which include Mariano’s, Harris Teeter and Ralphs. “Target is opening 10 to 20 smaller stores a year, and even Walmart is down to 10 stores a year. All of us are shrinking our inventory of new stores down. Retailers are building more distribution centers, not stores.” Xhajanka’s comments were made during the “Industrial Brokers and Expanding Retailers” panel at the first annual Intersection of Industrial and Retail in the Southeast conference, held Thursday, Aug. 23 at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta. Sponsored by InterFace Conference Group and Southeast Real Estate Business, the half-day event drew more than 170 industrial and retail real estate professionals across the Southeast.
