Restaurant Supply firm with Rapidly Expanding Client Base Set to Build Large New Facility in Southern Arizona

A fast-growing restaurant industry supplier has announced plans to build an extensive new distribution center in Glendale, Arizona.

Based in Addison, Illinois, Parts Town Unlimited provides a wide variety of restaurant equipment parts as well as apparel and uniforms and janitorial supplies to restaurants everywhere nationally.

The company, which was founded in 1987, is on track to make enjoy around $2.4 billion in revenue by the end of this year, up from $1.8 billion in 2022.

According to the site mdm.com, the company earlier this year launched its own heating and cooling system parts offerings, “adding to a diverse portfolio that already included original equipment manufacturer foodservice equipment parts, residential appliance parts, and consumer electronic parts.”

Parts Town’s products are diverse enough to serve every conceivable need in any commercial kitchen: cooking equipment and dishwashing equipment parts, parts for ice machines and beverage equipment, chef hats and shoes, janitorial equipment, and floor mats, among dozens of other items.

Now the company wants to build a 420,000 square-foot high-tech distribution center in response to a growing demand for its products.

In a statement, Steve Snower, chief executive officer of Parts Town, remarked: “Our organic growth continues to be very strong and has exceeded expectations in 2023. We are investing ahead of expected accelerated growth and product expansion in 2024 and beyond.”

The new facility will house the high-tech automation and robotics systems that Parts Town has successfully implemented in its 300,000 square-foot Illinois plant. An emphasis will also be placed on carbon reduction measures within the new facility, as well as LED lighting.

Work on the massive new facility is expected to begin no later than early next year, with an anticipated completion date of late 2024.
