Elevating Distribution: Savannah Mixing Center Launch

Over the past several years, imported products have launched at an accelerated rate, driving record-high inventory levels and strong sales growth. Given this exceptional trajectory and the positive outlook for our imported product lines, the idea of utilizing a centralized “mixing center” to house and distribute these products has been a frequent topic of discussion. We’re excited to announce that this vision is now a reality!

Our new 285,000-square-foot mixing center, located just 10 miles from the Port of Savannah, GA, is officially open and fully operational. Containers are now being received directly into this facility, streamlining our supply chain and alleviating the inbound burden on the 14 most Eastern branches.

The Savannah mixing center is built for speed and accuracy—with optimized receiving, storage, and picking processes. Pallet stacking (tie/highs) has been standardized to maximize cube utilization on trailers, improving efficiency and driving greater consistency across all serviced branches.

Please note that branches in the West and Mountain regions will continue to be serviced through our California facilities, which remain effective regional hubs offering similar benefits and efficiencies.
