ROSEMONT, IL - US Foods plans to open a new distribution center in Seabrook, New Hampshire. This development will better serve its customers throughout the New England area.
“We are thrilled US Foods has selected Seabrook as the hub of its New England operations,” said Bill Manzi, Seabrook town manager. “We look forward to partnering with them on a major economic development project that will bring quality jobs and much needed tax revenue to the Town of Seabrook.”
Currently the company services its New England customer base from a center located in Peabody, MA. The facility there is approximately 188,000 square feet, and the new facility will be more than 500,000 square feet and include additional dry and cold storage, fleet fueling and maintenance areas, according to a press release.
“This new building will allow us to better serve our more than 2,000 customers throughout New England and operate from a more efficient and modern facility which will benefit the company, its customers and the nearly 300 employees in the Boston Division,” said John Glynn, President, Boston Division, US Foods.
US Foods is partnering with the ESI Group on the renovation of the new facility to make sure that it operates as efficiently as possible. Construction is planned to begin at the end of June with a tentative opening in the first quarter of 2015.
