Home furnishings vendor Abbyson Living has opened a second 100,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art warehousing and distribution facility in southern California.
The new distribution facility is in addition to Abbyson’s three fulfillment centers located across the country.
The new southern California facility created jobs for 20 employees and is expected to double that number within the next few months. Abbyson is expanding its facilities to keep up with clients’ demands and continue delivery in a timely manner.
“We have a lot of exciting projects planned for 2014,” Abbyson Living President Yavar Rafieha said. “The additional space that this new fulfillment center provides will help us meet consumer demand.”
Abbyson, Los Angeles, has recently expanded its categories, adding more than 100 new designs of living room, bedroom, outdoor, and accessories collections for 2014. Abbyson Living has also signed its first licensing agreement with celebrity designer Monica Pedersen, who will be a judge on a new design show, American Dream Builders, on NBC this year. The Monica Pedersen Furniture Collection by Abbyson Living will also launch this year and the vast interest in the new line creates demand for additional fulfillment space.
“This new facility will allow Abbyson Living to keep up with the demand of its designs and product collections,” Abbyson Living Senior Vice President Doddy Rafieha said. “As interest in new partnerships grows, we’re proud to provide our customers with faster and more efficient shipping methods.”
Last year Abbyson expanded into the East Coast with an all-new 80,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility in Virginia, allowing white-glove delivery service to East Coast consumers in as little as five to seven business days. The East Coast facility also supported Abbyson’s green initiative, keeping with the company’s mandate to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing the travel time required to deliver its goods.
