Nelson-Jameson will celebrate the grand opening of its Jerome, Idaho, distribution center with a full day of events.
The company opened its advanced distribution and fulfillment center in Jerome in January, relocating operations from its former Twin Falls, Idaho, location. The official grand opening events on May 3 are open to the public and include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house at 2423 South Garfield Street, Jerome, ID 83338.
The Jerome facility is the company’s fifth U.S. distribution center, built to support its year-over-year growth and strategic reach across the country, including more than 1,000 vendors and 78,000 curated products. The 45,000-square-foot Jerome distribution center encompasses approximately 1.5 million cubic feet of combined storage, office space, refrigerated storage areas, and a service and maintenance area. Its sustainable design includes architecturally embedded energy-saving features, such as insulated concrete tilt wall panels, LED lighting and occupancy sensors, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and electronically controlled warehouse ventilation. This execution is in accordance with the company’s environmental goals to reduce its carbon footprint and advance sustainability within the broader food processing sector.
“The Jerome distribution center grand opening signifies a key turning point in the company’s history,” says Mike Rindy, president of Nelson-Jameson. ”The center was built to carry Nelson-Jameson’s values forward - operating in an ethical manner with respect for people, the community, and the environment, and upholding the highest standards of food quality and safety. At the same time, it marks a new era of technological advancement and enhanced service, and we’re excited to be celebrating this milestone in Jerome.”
“We’re grateful to the Idaho Magic Valley community for its ongoing partnership and support, and we’re proud to be contributing to economic growth in the region,” says Rindy.
