Topeka — This center will serve approximately 100 Home Deport retail stores throughout the Central Plains Region. The first outbound delivery will start Monday. This center has already created 200 jobs in office and warehouse positions. The Home Depot plans on building seven more distribution centers over the next few years at the site. State and city officials joined the general manager, Chad Sommer, in a unique board-cutting ceremony along with 200 employees.
City Council member Larry Wolgast says, "To see the excitement that's here, the new employees and the equipments coming in, it's just a tremendous economic boost for our community."
This center is part of a larger program to transform The Home Depot supply chain, making it easier for Home Depot stores to keep the right products in stock for their customers.
