Retailer Z Gallerie said it will build a 225,000 square-foot distribution center and customer service center in Lithia Springs, Ga., to service its stores in the southeastern United States and support future growth.
The $3.7 million facility is scheduled to be operating at full capacity by 2019, and will create 115 new jobs.
“Z Gallerie is excited to partner with the state of Georgia to expand its distribution center operations in the Southeast. Georgia’s geographic location provides an optimal distribution point to service our present and future customer needs,” said Victor Navarrette, vice president of operations. “With the regions access to highway, rail and port, Z Gallerie will be able to optimize efficiencies and cost in delivering products to our stores and customers throughout the U.S.”
The retailer said it worked with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Douglas County Economic Development Authority, Georgia Power and Quick Start on the project.
“Georgia’s commitment to improving the state’s logistics infrastructure over the next 10 years is a win-win for companies like Z Gallerie as they are choosing Georgia to be able to easily access and supply their retail stores along the east coast,” said Pat Wilson, commissioner of the Department of Economic Development. “Douglas County is an excellent choice for their new distribution facility, and we look forward to the success of the company in our state.”
Based in Los Angeles, the lifestyle retailer operates 68 stores nationwide, including two in the Atlanta area.
