2011年3月18日 - 5:01AM
rue21, inc. (Nasdaq:RUE) today announced plans to double the size
of its current 189,600 square foot Distribution Center located in
Weirton, West Virginia. Development plans call for the construction
of 180,000 square feet of additional storage space, additional
receiving docks, and improved truck circulation areas. The plans
also call for a 5,000 square-foot employee area which includes
additional employee restrooms, locker rooms, and a new cafeteria
with access to an outdoor seating area.
Keith McDonough, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer stated "The expanded warehouse storage space is an
essential element in improving the continuous and efficient
operation of our Distribution Center. The additional employee
facilities will provide a superior environment for our most
critical asset, our employees."
This expansion comes just 12 months after the completion of a
successful Distribution Center upgrade, which included the
implementation of a new pack-to-light system and control systems,
as well as upgrades to the warehouse management system. The
facility's packing system was designed to support over 1300 stores
and the additional warehouse adds the necessary storage
capacity.
"The recently completed Distribution Center upgrades, including
additional packing capacity, new systems and performance metrics,
coupled with this planned expansion, gives us the ability to
support our current stores and gives us the flexibility for our
planned future growth," said McDonough.
The proposed Distribution Center expansion is scheduled for
warehouse occupancy this September with final completion slated for
November 2011.
