Round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows. Our protagonist in this story is United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), and the distributor is on a roll. Most recently, UNFI opened a new refrigerated distribution center in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
“The New England region is a vital and thriving marketplace, and the opening of our new Londonderry facility acts as a complement to our other regional distribution centers enhancing our ability to deliver improved service levels for our customers,” said Mark Bushway, Chief Supply Chain Officer. “Londonderry strengthens our supply chain and helps deliver UNFI’s differentiated value proposition that helps our customers grow and thrive.”
Measuring 125,000 square feet, the facility will help UNFI expand its refrigerated capacity, a release stated. The new distribution center will also relieve pressure on the company’s Chesterfield, New Hampshire, and Dayville, Connecticut, facilities while also helping facilitate customer growth in the New England market.
UNFI’s new facility completed its first outbound shipments to customers on Monday, October 3.
As UNFI continues its expansion streak, keep a tab open for DMN.
