Macy’s will expand CA fulfillment center to meet omnichannel demand

Cincinnati - Macy’s Inc. plans to relocate its West Sacramento, California-based direct-to-consumer fulfillment center to a larger facility in a nearby location in Sacramento County to support continued sales growth driven by its omnichannel strategy. Contingent on approvals by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, Macy’s will begin operations in summer 2015 at a 385,000-sq.-ft. facility, creating approximately 100 new jobs.



Macy’s multi-million-dollar upgrade to the new fulfillment center will include building modifications and the latest technology in material handling equipment and warehouse management systems.



The current 92,000-sq.-ft. fulfillment center is located about 10 miles away. The current workforce of 72 associates is planned to grow to more than 175 after the move.



“Our West Sacramento fulfillment center, combined with our fulfillment center in Goodyear, Arizona, have been very successful in serving customers in the western U.S.,” said R.B. Harrison, chief omnichannel officer of Macy’s. “The rapid growth of Macy’s direct-to-customer shipments, rooted in our omnichannel approach to business, requires us to continue to strategically add fulfillment capacity so our customers can receive their orders quickly and efficiently.”
