1A Auto to Add New Location in Right to Work Florida
1A Auto is an online aftermarket auto parts store based in Massachusetts. Now they are adding a new distribution center in Jacksonville, Florida, which will serve at their southeast location. They plan to soon invest in a facility that will be 86,800 square feet and hire 30 people at the start. Then, they plan to increase that number and create up to 100 jobs over the next few years. So this will be great for the economy.
From Area Development Magazine:
“Our new facility’s proximity to JAXPORT, the rail, the airport and the UPS Sort Center, makes Jacksonville an excellent logistics location for retail and e-commerce in particular. […]
We’re able to reach virtually 100 percent of our customers in Florida overnight from Jacksonville, which was a real selling point for us. The port’s service capabilities and professionalism on the sales side were also important because we knew we would have the expertise to assist us for whatever we needed from the logistics perspective.†[…]
“We are thrilled to welcome 1A Auto to Jacksonville. […] JAXPORT’s efficiencies and strategic location continue to attract some of the biggest names in e-commerce. Every time a company opens a new distribution or fulfillment center here, it creates local jobs throughout the supply chain.â€
