Walmart & Target now consolidating online orders

[storewanderer]

Has Walmart actually built out any of the automated "Market Fulfillment Centers" they were planning? I see news articles indicating that two of these (one in Bentonville, one in New Hampshire) opened, and I know that the Tulalip store in Marysville WA was being remodeled with plans for one of these, but have heard very little about this since about 2021.

There are a couple of these in my area but I am not sure they really have any specialized equipment. They just look like giant staging rooms for online orders:
Carson City, NV- Market Street (sales floor at hardlines was cut to make room for this)
Sparks, NV - Pyramid (store was expanded behind garden center for this, auto service was taken away)

That's just the standard storage areas. The automated fulfillment equipment looks like a series of motorized conveyor belts and shelves that move up and down on a chain driven apparatus.
