KeHE Distributors will unveil its new distribution center on Oct. 5 in Dallas, Texas. The space will total nearly one million square feet, KeHE’s largest facility to date.
This distribution center will provide job and growth opportunities for the greater Dallas area and for KeHE. Additionally, the new distribution center allows more dedicated support for the company’s retailer and supplier partners.
“KeHE is ecstatic to continue serving its partners and helping the communities in which we do business,” said Era Vaughn, VP of operations. “Dallas is the perfect location for this facility due to its prime location that will allow us to expand upon existing as well as new clients. Additionally, the size and technology improvement in this distribution center will allow us to provide an expanded assortment of items and improved level of service that our retailers expect and deserve.”
As the company continues to expand and drive innovation, this distribution center has enhanced its technology to improve service levels to its partners. For instance, new advancements include a 210,000-square-foot freezer with a climate-controlled ice cream room, robotics and automation to improve accuracy when selecting and improved batch pick to reduce emissions and energy demand.
“I am pleased to welcome KeHE to Dallas and District 8,” said Tennell Akins, councilmember. “This project creates more than 500 new good-paying jobs for our community, and we look forward to partnering with KeHE as they grow their business in Dallas.”
To celebrate the grand opening, KeHE will host a grand opening event Oct. 5 with a photobooth, food, speeches from KeHE officials, a ribbon cutting ceremony and tours of the facility.
