ATLANTA, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Home Depot
announced today that it has opened three new distribution centers
across Florida, spanning from
West Palm Beach and Miami to Fort
Myers. The facilities will provide even faster delivery
options to customers in the South
Florida region. The company plans to open two additional
Miami distribution centers in
2022. Together, these five facilities are expected to create more
than 150 new full- and part-time jobs across the region.
"Our customers have varying needs – from DIYers
renovating their homes to professional contractors on job
sites," said Kyle Dennis, vice
president of supply chain development. "These investments are
helping us deliver to our Pro and DIY customers across South Florida when, where and how they
want."
The newly opened facility in Miami is a 332,000-square-foot building that
will deliver big and bulky construction materials and other
oversized product directly to Pro and DIY customers.
The new delivery locations in West
Palm Beach and Fort Myers
expand The Home Depot's appliance delivery to customers in those
markets.
