The 250,374-square-foot, state-of-the-art center located at 2800 North Andrews is slated to open by the end of fiscal year 2013 that ends February 23, 2013, according to a press release. The center will employ more than 30 workers at the initial opening. The venture is the result of a collaboration with KTR Capital Partners and Butters Construction. </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The complex was formerly operated as a US Foodservice Cold Storage facility. The property landlord, KTR Capital Partners, will expand the existing location to 250,374 square feet and renovate the remaining space to accommodate Save-A-Lot’s dry and cold storage operations. The new food distribution center will help Save-A-Lot supply its growing network of grocery stores. The center will feature the latest in green technologies for the most efficient use of energy, including lights that only operate when a person is present, and an HVAC system with smart thermostats.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> “With this project, we continue to reinvest in the Save-A-Lot distribution model as part of our ongoing commitment to the brand and positioning for overall growth of the hard discount model,” said Santiago Roces, Save-A-Lot president and CEO. “We chose South Florida for our new distribution center because of its excellent business climate, central location and industrious workforce. For the state of Florida and the surrounding region, it means economic growth and jobs. I believe this will be a wonderful partnership for Save-A-Lot, Pompano Beach and the South Florida region.” </p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://save-a-lot.com/" target="_new"> Save-A-Lot </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
