ATD Revealed New Distribution Center in Salt Lake City at Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
American Tire Distributors, Inc. (ATD) celebrated the grand opening of its new distribution center (DC) yesterday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The 160,000-square-foot building, which employs more than 50 associates, allows ATD to better serve customers in the community.
Located at 6325 W 700 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, the new DC is more than 40,000 square feet larger than the previous facility. In partnership with local developers and contractors Pure Development and ARCO Construction, ATD designed the facility with state-of-the-art racking to improve safety for warehouse associates, while LED lighting and backup-generated power demonstrates ATD’s continued commitment to sustainability.
“It is with great excitement that we had the opportunity to introduce our new Distribution Center to ATD associates, partners and friends in Salt Lake City,” said Stuart Schuette, President and CEO. “We were in our old facility for nearly 20 years, and with this new expansion, we are looking forward to many more years of involvement in the community.”
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by ATD executives and associates, as well as the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce. Schuette also spoke to address ATD’s growth and introduce the community to the new facility.
The new DC is preceded by years of transformational business growth; ATD refinanced debt in fall of 2021, reported strong unit volume growth in 2022 and recently acquired Tires Now, Monro, Inc.’s wholesale tire distribution asset. With these achievements in mind, the facility was designed intentionally and strategically to align with the goals for the future of ATD.
