Whole Foods breaks ground on new distribution center
Relocating from the current distribution center in Munster, Ind., the new location offers a building double the size of the current facility.
Whole Foods Market, Austin, Texas, broke ground on a 150,000-square-foot Midwest distribution facility in the Pullman neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. Expected to open in early 2018, the new Midwest distribution center will initially employ 150 people and serve as many as 70 Whole Foods Market locations in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa and the Canadian province of Ontario.
Relocating from the current distribution center in Munster, Ind., the new location offers a building double the size of the current facility, and will feature additional space to grow, as the company expands its reach in Chicago and beyond.
