Chewy Expands Operations to Campus in Archbald, Pennsylvania
12/24/2019
With this project, the company is expanding its presence in Pennsylvania through a one million-square-foot build-to-suit location in Archbald Borough. The new fulfillment center, which will allow the company to ship to millions of its customers even faster, will be Chewy’s third Pennsylvania location.
“We’re thrilled to continue our growth in Pennsylvania with the opening of Chewy’s third fulfillment center in the state and tenth in the country,” said Pete Krilles, Vice President, Corporate Real Estate and Facilities for Chewy. “The launch of this new location will create 1,000 new, full-time jobs, deepening our economic investment in the northeast Pennsylvania region. In addition, it will further extend our delivery network across the Northeast and Midwest, enhancing the customer experience by providing even faster order delivery times. We appreciate the partnership with the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, Lackawanna County, Archbald Borough, Valley View School District, the Governor’s Action Team, and the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development and look forward to joining the Archbald community.”
Chewy received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for the project. The proposal includes a $582,000 workforce development grant to help the company train its workers. The company has committed to investing at least $35 million at the site, creating 1,000 new, full-time jobs, and retaining 2,401 existing jobs throughout the state over the next three years.
The project was coordinated by the Governor’s Action Team with support from the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. “Chewy has long displayed a commitment to the commonwealth, employing thousands of Pennsylvanians and serving millions of customers here for more than five years,” said Governor Tom Wolf. “The commonwealth is proud to partner in Chewy’s continued expansion and looks forward to its new chapter in Northeast Pennsylvania.”
“We are delighted to welcome a business with the standing and quality reputation of Chewy to the Valley View Business Park. The Chamber team was pleased to work with the commonwealth, NorthPoint Development, and Cushman & Wakefield in the successful attraction of Chewy to Northeast Pennsylvania, as well as Archbald Borough, Valley View School District and Lackawanna County in making this major investment a reality,” said Bob Durkin, president, The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce.
Chewy is co-headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida and Boston, Massachusetts, with customer service centers in Hollywood, Florida and Dallas, Texas, pharmacy in Louisville, Kentucky, and nine fulfillment centers across the country.
