This is where I use to work. I got fired in May of 2011 for Geocaching!!! When I worked there I thought it would be good to have a cache close by so I'm leaving it even though I can't maintain it like I use to.
According to the San Bernardino Sun, March 4, 2004, Walmart announced the opening on March 9, 2004 of the $80 million Consumer Products Distribution Center at the southeast corner of Johnson Road and Dale Evans Parkway in Apple Valley, near the Apple Valley Airport. Officials said that the Center would generate some 600-truck trips each operating day. All trucks coming to or leaving the facility would use Dale Evans Parkway, avoiding other town streets.
The Walmart Distribution Center has been developed on 320-acres, and contains a 1.3 million-square-foot warehouse and shipping center that brings 900 jobs to Apple Valley. This massive Distribution Center is the Victor Valley’s largest building, measuring three football fields in length by three football fields in width. The Center and Warehouse include truck washing and fueling facilities, two 20,000- gallon underground diesel fuel storage tanks, two 300,000-gallon ground level water storage tanks, a truck maintenance yard and loading docks. This Distribution Center is one of seven such distribution centers in the state, and shall serve Walmart Discount Centers and Sam's Clubs throughout Southern California.
Walmart, headquartered in Bentonville, Ark., operates 2,200 discount stores around the nation. With revenues of over $288 billion in 2004, Walmart is the world's largest company and retailer, and has been ranked number 1 on the Fortune 500 for the last three years in a row. Walmart employs 52,000 people in California.
"W-A-L-M-A-R-T!" The 27-acre Walmart distribution center -- with room enough to fit 24 football fields under its roof -- was barely big enough to contain the enthusiasm of the jubilant employees and local dignitaries assembled for its official grand opening Tuesday.
