La-Z-Boy Southeast Plans Distribution Hub in Rock Hill, South Carolina
11/13/2017
The facility will service the company's eight home furnishings and décor stores located in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. The project is an investment of more than $8 million that will bring 30 jobs to York County. The building is nearly twice the size of the company's current distribution center in in Richburg. Initial plans include a facility comprised of 126,360 square feet, which can be expanded to 182,520 square feet on a 16.38-acre site.
Phase one of the build will include 6,000 square-feet dedicated to a regional call-center and executive and operational offices. The facility will also offer customers the option to pick-up furniture purchases instead of receiving delivery.
"We are pleased that our company's recent growth and continued success enabled us to embark upon this project in York County," states Martha Brown, President & CEO, La-Z-Boy Southeast. "This facility will allow us to better service our existing eight locations across the southeast and position us for continued future growth. We look forward to working with and employing citizens of York County, who offer a variety of talents and capabilities that will encourage future accomplishments."
"We were pleased to identify this location for La-Z-Boy Southeast," states Byron Brown, partner and broker-in-charge, Caliber Partners. "With stores across the southeast and a growing interior design clientele, the proximity to the I-77 corridor will allow for more efficient inventory delivery services. The location will serve the business today and well into the future."
"We welcome La-Z-Boy Southeast to York County," says Britt Blackwell, York County Council Chairman. "We commend them on their growth and are pleased to see that they have found an ideal location in York County to better serve the needs of their locations across the region. The addition of this growing company brings welcomed jobs and investment into our community."
