LEXINGTON, N.C. – Case goods resource FD Home has opened a warehouse here that will offer a limited amount of bedroom and dining room to dealers seeking to replenish small quantities of product quickly.
The warehouse is a leased facility operated by Shelba D. Johnson and will stock between five and eight bedroom and dining room sets initially, with room to grow over time. It began shipping in February and will primarily serve dealers in the central and eastern part of the U.S.
“It is not our full line, but we don’t need it to be,” said Steve York, president. “When we have product that is selling extremely well on container and we have distribution of that product, it doesn’t condone us to bring it into our U.S. inventory.”
York noted that the company continues to warehouse product in a climate-controlled warehouse in Vietnam that is shipped in mixed containers.
“We stock our product in the factory warehouse, so as we sell product with new placements and pull items out of our domestic inventory, we can immediately start building our next container to replenish inventory and keep a much smaller footprint of inventory in the U.S.” York noted.
“This (domestic warehouse) allows us to reach out to the next tier of customer.”
