By Home Furnishings Business in High Point on February 2007 Zocalo, a San Francisco-based furniture manufacturer and importer, has opened a new distribution center in Thomasville, N.C., to supply its growing retailer base on the East Coast and in eastern Canada. The 33,000-square-foot facility is the company’s sixth distribution center.

The 11-year-old company has the option to expand its newest distribution center to 55,000 square feet, according to an announcement Thursday.

“We have an increasing number of independent accounts who need frequent rapid delivery of smaller quantities of product,” said Duncan Elcombe, vice president of sales. “The North Carolina distribution center will allow us to dramatically improve our delivery times to our East Coast dealers. Freight minimums are very low, so our dealers will be able to use us as their warehouse—ordering products as they need them.”
