Associated Wholesale Grocers to sell, close Fort Worth division
AWG will continue to concentrate on organic and strategic growth across its distribution areas.
Associated Wholesale Grocers, Inc. (AWG), Kansas City, Kan., announced the sale and future closure of its Fort Worth, Texas, division.
“To continue to maintain the lowest possible cost of operation, AWG has made the determination to consolidate the remaining Fort Worth business into our more efficient and productive Oklahoma City distribution center,” says AWG. “This consolidation will provide synergies for our entire organization, and will provide the former Fort Worth members with an improved assortment. As part of this decision, AWG has entered into an agreement to sell the Fort Worth facility. We anticipate vacating the facility and completing the transition of our remaining Fort Worth business to Oklahoma City by Oct. 31.”
