S&S Activewear, Bolingbrook, Ill., recently announced it is expanding its national footprint with a new, state-of-the-art, 493,000-square-foot distribution center in Fort Worth, Texas.
This new facility, which is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2017, means the company now operates more than 2.2 million square feet across the country. It also adds 300 Texas jobs to a continuously growing team.
“The new facility will give us expanded one-day coverage into the greater part of Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin,” says S&S Chief Operating Officer Frank Myers. “It will also cover all of Oklahoma, Northern Louisiana and select cities in Arkansas, including Little Rock.”
The Fort Worth location will feature all of S&S’s proprietary distribution-facility technology, which has been one of its key drivers for success during the last two decades.
“We are continuing our rapid expansion to meet the growing demands of our loyal customer base,” Myers says. “Our aim is to provide customers across the country with what they need, when they need it — the widest and deepest inventory, pulled with the best accuracy and delivered in the shortest transit times.” — J.L.
