Chick-fil-A Supply, a distribution subsidiary of Chick-fil-A Inc., plans to open a 244,000-square-foot distribution center in Winter Haven, Florida, according to a Nov. 24 Florida Commerce press release.
A more than $150 million investment supported by the Winter Haven Economic Development Council, CSX and the State of Florida, it is slated to open in 2027. The new facility is expected to serve approximately 170 restaurants and create more than 180 jobs.
“We are grateful to Winter Haven and the state of Florida for the opportunity to become part of the community and look forward to serving Chick-fil-A restaurants across the state,” said Josh Groth, CEO of Chick-fil-A Supply.
Chick-fil-A made its own First delivery from a company-owned distribution center in 2019 and has steadily expanded its supply chain operations since then.. According to a press release, there are currently 11 distribution centers in the Chick-fil-A Supply chain, including a location in Weston, Florida.
In 2023, Chick-fil-A announced plans to build a distribution center in Kannapolis, North Carolina, which was expected to be operational last year. Earlier, the restaurant subsidiary announced a $31 million distribution center in Kansas, as well as a location in Missouri.
