US Foods has doubled the size of its distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee with the company's recent expansion. The project will enable the US Foods to better serve customers throughout West Tennessee, West Kentucky, East Arkansas and North Mississippi. The new features will offer a new state-of-the-art kitchen where the company will host product demonstrations for customers and an on-site truck repair shop.
The newly expanded building has also been dedicated to former Memphis Division President, Joe Campbell who passed away earlier this year, according to a press release.
The division marked the event by hosting a celebration where the building was officially dedicated to Mr. Campbell, who played an instrumental role in the expansion project.
“With more than double the storage capacity of our previous facility, we can significantly increase our product offerings for customers,” said Jimmy Kiser, Memphis Division President, US Foods. “Our new state-of-the-art kitchen will allow us to showcase our innovative products to our customers in a new way and help inspire them to keep their menus fresh.”
The Memphis division has more than 375 employees and serves thousands of customers throughout the Southern region.
“The growth of the Memphis division is a true testament to the dedication Joe Campbell had to the Memphis division, its employees and the community,” said Mr. Kiser. “We are honored to be able to dedicate this building to him and will always remember him as a great man who cared for those he worked with and the customers we served.”
