The international fast-fashion retailer Primark ceremonially opened its new distribution center in North Jacksonville on Feb. 7, with a company executive calling the nearly 550,000-square-foot space a linchpin for its expansion plans in the Southeast U.S.
“We have strong ambition in Florida, and in Texas,” said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US, during an interview with the Daily Record.
“We started the work a number of years ago to identify where the right place would be for us. Everything that we saw in Jacksonville, as well as JaxPort, led us to believe this is the ideal location for us to open our second distribution center and unlock the ability to go after more leases in the South.”
