Salesmaster to build
new ‘SuperCenter’ in New England
Northeast distributor Salesmaster Associates Inc. has broken
ground on a new distribution “supercenter” in Chicopee, Mass., about 85 miles
southeast of the company’s Albany, N.Y. location. The 40,000 sq. ft. facility will
help the company serve its “rapidly growing business” in the New England market
and effectively doubles the company’s warehouse space in New
England, according to Salesmaster. The SuperCenter is expected to
open its doors in March 2009.
Steven
Kurtz, president of Salesmaster, called the planned facility “the missing link”
to expanding substantially in the New England market. “We evaluated the
feasibility of the move for nearly two years,” he said. “Site studies indicated
that Chicopee was the best location and that
constructing a new facility was brick-and-mortar evidence of our growth, and of
our vision and commitment to the New England
market."
The new
site will offer Salesmaster’s customers a range of benefits, including next day
fulfillment, same day pick up, and larger inventory levels. In addition, carpet
cuts will now be available for same day pickup or next day delivery. The
company noted the new center will also have a positive effect on Salesmaster’s Albany location.
“We have
reaffirmed our commitment to the Albany
area and will be reinvesting in, upgrading and modernizing our facility there.
The proximity to Chicopee also means faster
deliveries and better customer service for Albany area customers,” said Ray Izatt
Salesmaster’s vp of sales.
Along with
the Albany and soon to be opened Chicopee site, the company also operates
facilities in Woburn, Mass.; Hartford, Conn.; and a SuperCenter in Deer Park,
N.Y. (Long Island).
