Nor-Am Cold Storage acquires former Associated Wholesale Grocers distribution center
Nor-Am plans to add warehouse, maintenance, management and value-added teams such as kitting and repackaging.
Nor-Am Cold Storage, Le Mars, Iowa, purchased the former 478,000-square-foot Affiliated Foods distribution center in Elwood, Kan., from Associated Wholesale Grocers, Kansas City, Kan.
“We are fortunate to be a part of a growing industry. The demand for both temperature-controlled and dry warehouse space is higher than ever,” says Justin Brandt, general manager of Nor-Am in Saint Joseph, Kansas City and Elwood. “We’ll use this space to meet the demand of our current customers as well as to attract new customers to the area. Customer demand is pushing us to aggressively expand our footprint.”
