Walmart files plans for 712,000-square-foot facility in Cibolo

Walmart will build a $400 million distribution center in Cibolo.

The Bentonville, Arkansas retailer filed plans with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for the facility located just off Interstate 10 in Guadalupe County. The project, internally known as Project Theo, will cover more than 712,000 square feet. That area is roughly the size of 16 football fields.

Groundbreaking is scheduled for February 2027. The company expects to finish construction by August 2029. The center will sit at 3641 S. Santa Clara Road. That is the same address previously occupied by the San Antonio Raceway. Local listings show the raceway is permanently closed, and its phone number is no longer in service.

Cibolo is a common location for large industrial projects because it sits at the intersection of Interstate 35 and Interstate 10. The city hosts various manufacturers, including Aisin, a Japanese transmission maker. Aisin opened a 500,000-square-foot plant in Cibolo in 2019. That facility brought 900 new jobs and $400 million in investment to the area.

Walmart already operates in the region. It has 38 stores listed in the San Antonio area. A nearby distribution center in New Braunfels serves stores along the I-35 corridor. Walmart reports that it employs approximately 2.1 million associates worldwide and generated $681 billion in revenue during fiscal year 2025.
