Owens & Minor was joined for the groundbreaking by its local partner, West Virginia University Health System.
Macy’s
Macy’s, Inc. plans to open a new fulfillment centre in China Grove, North Carolina in 2024 to meet the growing demands of its omnichannel business. The 1.4 million-square-foot facility, with automated direct-to-consumer fulfillment capacity, will employ nearly 2,800 workers when fully operational. Macy’s will invest approximately US$584 million in this project.

The company is also expanding its DC in Houston, Texas. The nearly one-million-square-foot distribution facility will be completed in mid-2023 and will support stores in the region as well as provide online fulfillment during peak season for furniture, bedding and toys.
