Publix Super Markets held the grand opening for its Alabama distribution center with plans to have 300 workers there by year’s end.
The first truck left the facility at midnight, the first of many Publix tractor trailers that will now make Alabama roads a regular part of their route. The distribution center initially will provide goods to 80 stores in Alabama and Tennessee and will add stores in Georgia and the Florida Panhandle later in the year.
The 638,000-square-foot facility is in Jefferson Metropolitan Park-McCalla between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. It has 600,000 square feet of warehouse space and 38,000 square feet of office and cafeteria space.
