“As part of our $6.5 billion investment in Canada announced last year, we’re excited to announce this new Supercentre, located in southwest London,” said Shawn Fujiki, Senior Director, Real Estate, Walmart Canada. “As the nearby community continues to grow, including several planned developments nearby, we’re proud to bring Walmart Canada’s assortment and everyday low prices to the community.”

“Welcoming Walmart to our development as an anchor tenant underscores the strength of the London market and the community value of well-located, large-format retail,” said Ali Soufan, President of York Developments. “We’re proud to collaborate with a high-caliber national retailer like Walmart to support the long-term growth potential of the Wonderland Gateway development.”

Situated at the intersection of two major arterial roadways, the site offers connectivity to Highways 401 and 402, public transit routes, and key population centres throughout the city, said the company.

In 2025, Walmart Canada said it announced a $6.5 billion investment over five years to expand its store and supply chain footprint. As part of this plan, in 2025 Walmart Canada opened new Supercentres in Port Credit and Oakville in Ontario and grand opened its Ambient Distribution Centre in Vaughan, ON. So far, five new Supercentres are slated to open over the next two years: Fort McMurray, AB, Sherbrooke, QC, Tsuut’ina Nation, AB, Hamilton, ON, and London, ON.

Walmart Canada operates 150 stores in Ontario, including four in London, and employs over 45,000 people in the province.
