Business Wire
Macy’s, Inc. (NYSE:M) today announced it plans to relocate its
West Sacramento, CA, direct-to-consumer fulfillment center to a
larger facility in a nearby location in Sacramento County to
support continued sales growth driven by Macy’s omnichannel
strategy.
Contingent on approvals by the Sacramento County Board of
Supervisors, Macy’s will begin operations in summer 2015 at a
385,000-square-foot facility at 6200 Franklin St., creating
approximately 100 new jobs. The current 92,000-square-foot
fulfillment center is located about 10 miles away at 3919 Channel
Drive in West Sacramento. The current workforce of 72 associates is
planned to grow to more than 175 after the move.
Macy’s multi-million-dollar upgrade to the new fulfillment
center will include building modifications and the latest
technology in material handling equipment and warehouse management
systems.
“Our West Sacramento fulfillment center, combined with our
fulfillment center in Goodyear, AZ, have been very successful in
serving customers in the western United States. The rapid growth of
Macy’s direct-to-customer shipments, rooted in our omnichannel
approach to business, requires us to continue to strategically add
fulfillment capacity so our customers can receive their orders
quickly and efficiently. Customers today are shopping whenever,
however and wherever they prefer – via stores, desktops and mobile
devices – and we continue to invest to meet the customer demand,”
said R.B. Harrison, Macy’s, Inc. chief omnichannel officer “We are
choosing to expand and invest in Sacramento County, based on the
quality of the workforce and the outstanding support we have
received from the local community.”
