Online retailer Door to Door Organics is expanding its footprint in Chicago with a new 25,000-square-foot warehouse, which is more than three times larger than its previous capacity.
Located in the city’s Bridgeport neighborhood, the new warehouse replaces an 8,000-square-foot facility in Chicago’s Far West Side, which the retailer had been using since 2010.
The warehouse space was needed to house the retailer’s expanding product mix. The retailer now has 3,500 local, organic and natural grocery stock keeping units (SKUs), after recently adding 1,000 products to its mix, including frozen foods, pantry staples, ethnic foods, vegan options, gluten-free items, non-GMO snacks, local products and more local and organic produce.
Door to Door Organics has also expanded its local delivery van fleet and software to better serve Chicago-area residents, according to a report in LBR Supply Chain.
“We have been proud to serve Chicagoland residents local, organic and natural food for the last four years, and are excited to strengthen our market position with the new Bridgeport warehouse and offer current and prospective customers even more products and services in the coming weeks,” said Chad Arnold, CEO of Door to Door Organics. “Our aggressive and strategic investments in Door to Door Organics’ local operations further our commitment to remaining a trusted business in the community, and allows us to better meet the unique needs of both downtown and suburban customers.”
