SanMar Corp., Seattle, recently opened a new full-scale warehouse in the Minneapolis area.
The 570,000-square-foot distribution center replaces the company’s temporary 100,000-square-foot facility, which was opened last year.
Located in Shakopee, Minn., the facility offers next-day shipping to Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin, as well as portions of Nebraska and South Dakota. During the next few months, SanMar will add more products, sizes and color options to its stock of inventory in the new warehouse.
The environmentally friendly building is accessible from major interstates in the area, and it features a large showroom, customer meeting room and on-site kiosk for ordering.
“Our goal is to provide customers with the inventory and overall experience they expect, from ordering through fulfillment and shipment,” says Jeremy Lott, president of SanMar. “This investment in a full-scale warehouse is our commitment to house the most on-hand inventory in the upper Midwest.”
