Turn5 Locates Distribution Hub in Lenexa, Kansas

08/14/2018
Turn5, an eCommerce retailer and operating company for AmericanMuscle.com, ExtremeTerrain.com and AmericanTrucks.com, will open a new 365,000-square-foot distribution center in the Kansas City metro area in Lenexa, Kansas.

The Kansas City operations center, which is expected to create an estimated 100 jobs over the next three years, will serve as an extension of its fulfillment operations which offer aftermarket automotive products to the company's clients nationwide.

"Through excellent web design, rapidly growing video content, and award-winning customer service, we tap into our customers' enthusiasm and join them on every step of their journey. Our presence in Kansas City will help us expand our fulfillment operation and create better customer experiences," said Steve Voudouris, CEO & Founding Partner of Turn5.

"Kansas City offers a strong advantage for a company like Turn5," said Tim Cowden, President & CEO, Kansas City Area Development Council. "The region's central location and infrastructure mean 85 percent of the U.S. population can be reached from Kansas City within two days or less. That equals huge value for eCommerce fulfillment."

Kansas City Area Development Council said it was proud to work with regional partners in attracting Turn5 to the region, including the State of Kansas, Kansas Department of Commerce, City of Lenexa, KCP&L, JLL, Block Real Estate Services and KC SmartPort.
