KeHE Distributors, a company that provides Natural & Organic and Specialty products to natural food stores, chain grocery stores, independent grocery stores and other specialty product retailers, opened its new state-of-the-art 270,000-square-foot distribution center in Aurora, Colorado.

The new hub joins KeHE's network of 17 distribution centers that provide natural, organic and specialty products to natural food stores, grocery stores and other specialty retailers throughout North America, company officials said.
