Schaedler Yesco Distribution, Harrisburg, PA, celebrated the grand opening of its newest regional distribution center in Lower Burrell, PA. on April 24.
The 90,000-sq-ft facility, located in Burrell Plaza, formerly housed a J.C. Penney retail store. It sat vacant for roughly 15 years before Schaedler Yesco purchased it in 2022. The facility became operational in Oct. 2023.
“We chose this space and geographic location to better serve our customers in western PA and eastern OH,” said President Farrah Mittel in the press release. “In the short time we’ve been operational, it’s clear that our customers and vendor partners are as excited about our investment in this market as we are.”
The grand opening celebration included customer training sessions on EV charging, energy-saving strategies and unique construction services offered by Schaedler Yesco. Customers also had the opportunity to interact with over 30 vendor partners, tour the new facility, engage in three vendor display vehicles and enjoy a BBQ lunch.
