Last year, Gordon Food Service was busy expanding its brick-and-mortar presence, debuting new urban retail concepts, and even welcoming a new COO and President. With construction already underway on the new facility, this trade news reporter can’t help but wonder if the foodservice distributor is gearing up for another big year.
The new state-of-the-art warehouse, first announced in June of last year, will be built at the Carruthers Creek Business Park on Ringer Street. The project was initially slated to open in fall of 2019.
