Online restaurant supply company The Webstaurant Store will establish distribution operations in Lebanon, Tennessee. The $103.9 million project is expected to create 225 jobs in Wilson County.

Located at the Speedway Industrial Park the new facility will utilize automated packing machines and work alongside the company’s current distribution operations in Georgia and Kentucky to target increased demand for restaurant, industrial and other office supplies and equipment in the Midwestern U.S.

“We are excited to continue the expansion of our distribution network with our newest facility in the state of Tennessee. Our facility, located in Lebanon, will be our largest investment in automation and infrastructure in the company’s history. The labor pool and skilled logistics workforce of the greater Lebanon, Tennessee area made our decision easy when selecting our next site for distribution. We look forward to continued growth and positively impacting the community, as well as the State of Tennessee, for many years to come,” Caleb Clugston, vice president of network optimization, The Webstaurant Store said.

Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and founded in 2004, The Webstaurant Store is one of the largest online restaurant supply companies. The company specializes in distributing commercial equipment and wholesale supplies around the globe from its current operations in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.

“Tennessee’s central location and pro-business climate attract top-tier companies like Webstaurant to the state. We appreciate Webstaurant’s significant investment and believe Lebanon and Wilson County have the infrastructure and workforce needed to support this company’s new distribution operations,” TNECD Commissioner Stuart McWhorter noted.
