SACRAMENTO, CA - US Foods is coming to Sacramento! The ANUK team reported on this earlier in July of this year, when the foodservice provider was awarded a California Competes Tax Credit to develop a center at McClellan Park. But many wondered: would the plans go through? No need to wonder any longer, because US Foods announced plans on October 30 to build a 355,000-square-foot distribution center in McClellan, California.

“The expansion of the US Foods footprint into Sacramento is an important investment as we continue to serve independent restaurant operators across the region,” said Bernie Orsini, Area President for Northern California, US Foods. “We look forward to the increased capabilities the location will offer as we continue to execute on our ‘Great Food. Made Easy’ strategy.”

The company noted that the $71.6 million investment will allow US Foods to more efficiently service the company’s independent restaurant customers across Northern California. Construction of the LEED-certified facility is expected to start mid-2019 and open at the end of 2020.
