American Tire Distributors Inc. (ATD) recently celebrated the grand opening of its first regional distribution center in McDonough, Ga.
The start-of-the-art distribution center will serve as a central hub supporting 22 distribution centers across Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
ATD invested $10.5 million in the nearly 760,000-square-foot facility, which has the goal to employ 180 associates and hold 15,000 different SKUs.
“Opening our inaugural regional distribution center in McDonough marks a pivotal moment for American Tire Distributors and our supply chain capabilities,” says Stuart Schuette, president and CEO of ATD.
“This facility not only exemplifies our commitment to improving the customer experience with faster delivery but also highlights our dedication to bolstering the local economy.”
ATD officials say the new distribution center will be replenished daily and have improved inventory availability.
ATD has had a presence in Georgia for nearly 25 years with facilities in Augusta, Kennesaw and Tucker.
A ribbon-cutting event welcomed the McDonough community into the new facility with remarks from ATD executives, building tours and a champagne toast.
