ARCO National Construction Partners with LA Lucky on New California Cold Storage
The new facility will include more than 17,000 square feet of freezer space and a state-of-the-art convertible cooler designed to accommodate a range of products.
ARCO National Construction’s Southern California division is partnering with LA Lucky, a leading local Asian grocery wholesaler and foodservice distributor, on a new 100,465-square-foot cold storage facility in El Monte, California.
Headquartered in Southern California, LA Lucky sources and distributes a variety of Asian packaged foods, frozen seafood, snacks and specialty items to retailers across the United States. As demand for global food offerings continues to rise, California remains a thriving hub for the Asian grocery market – home to the largest concentration of Asian grocery stores in the country.
"Building the LA Lucky warehouse has been a long-standing dream for our family — a vision we’ve held since the very beginning,” said George Nguyen, president of LA Lucky. “After nearly four years of planning and preparation, we’re thrilled to officially break ground on a facility we can finally call our own. This marks a major milestone, and we’re excited to partner with ARCO on this project. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us and helped bring this vision to life.”
The new facility will support LA Lucky’s continued growth and enhance its distribution capabilities. It will include nearly 55,000 square feet of dry warehouse space, more than 17,000 square feet of freezer space, and a state-of-the-art convertible cooler designed to accommodate a range of products. Demolition of the existing building on-site is currently underway.
“Our local team is proud to partner with LA Lucky on this expansion of their growing business,” said Brian Westre, vice president of ARCO National Construction’s West Coast offices. “This project reflects the continued momentum in Southern California’s cold storage market, driven by the region’s strong demand for specialty and international food products.”
This facility adds to ARCO’s growing portfolio of cold storage projects across Southern California, where shifting consumer preferences and a thriving food sector continue to fuel demand for modern temperature-controlled infrastructure.
