Distribution Direct moved into new Rock Hill warehouse

Distribution Direct has moved into a 180,000-square-foot warehouse in Rock Hill at 500 Linkwood Road, gaining 42 percent more space for client merchandise.

“We have experienced tremendous growth over the last year due primarily to our clients’ growth and success,” said Quancy Teal, Distribution Direct owner and director of operations. “We wanted to ensure that we could accommodate our clients’ current growth, as well as provide for their future growth. The capacity and location of this new warehouse accomplishes that for our clients.”

“Our warehouse staff has been pulling double duty for the last 45 days, fulfilling incoming client orders while also preparing client merchandise for the move,” said Brady Buckley, Distribution Direct owner and director of sales and marketing.

Distribution Direct’s Linkwood Road warehouse also has conference rooms which are available for client use.
