Harris Teeter Builds 5.5M Distribution Center in Indian Trail
INDIAN TRAIL, NC - Harris Teeter has announced that it will be launching a major expansion of its Indian Trail Distribution Center in North Carolina. The $5.5 million expansion plan will allow the facility to service 125 stores across North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida, a roughly 20% increase from its previous servicing capacity.
North Carolina Governor, Pat McCrory spoke with optimism about the good he expects the expanded Indian Trail Distribution Center to do for his constituents.
“We’re committed to promoting economic growth in North Carolina, and we know that many of those jobs will come from existing companies like Harris Teeter,” said Governor McCrory. “Harris Teeter’s decision to expand in Union County shows the company’s support of the local community.”
According to the Jacksonville Daily News, Harris Teeter plans on beginning the 50,000 square foot expansion effort by late October 2014. If all goes according to plan the entire process should be completed within 10 months of the launch date. Harris Teeter hopes that the new facility will allow it to streamline its distribution network, improving the efficiency of its supply chain operations.
