Distribution Center Progress

While the cold and icy weather has been holding up the completion of our new distribution center, we’re lucky to be in and operating out of the large new storage and dock area. This is the important part; giving our warehouse and prep crews enough properly lighted space to prepare items for delivery, and giving our drivers enough time and space to properly load their trucks to ensure everything makes it to our customer’s homes in perfect condition. All deliveries for our Peoria, Normal and Peru locations now leave this distribution center each morning; allowing next day delivery no matter where you live on any product we have in stock! It’s taking the longest to complete the short portion of the facility (that’s short compared to the 35’ high part in the back, it’s where the red door is in the picture). This area is the new customer pickup area, plus it houses the warehouse and customer service offices, our new service shop, and a clearance center. We’re hoping these areas will be completed by March, giving us the chance to put on the finishing touches and landscaping this spring. Thanks for putting up with our mess in the meantime; it’s all in the interests of doing the best job possible for our customers throughout central Illinois!
