That's gonna be on the way to and from work. Gonna have to resist stopping and shopping more than I need to.

I was about to say 32k square feet inst much for a company like Summit who pushes a lot of volume and has inventory like a mofo. LOL

And 700,000 is huge for a parts warehouse. I wonder what else will be in the building? Call center, headquarters, shop?

32,000 sqft will be for the retail store. The entire building is going to be 700,000. Per the article above.

I haven't got a Summit catalog in months.
I've been using Jegs a lot lately because they sell Golden Star sheet metal I need for current project.

All day long. It says they are spending $80M on that 700K building. Who knows how much of that is finish but an enterprising man can throw up the shell of one like that out at Alliance for ~$32M.

If they put it in Alliance, I would probably have to start tailoring my resume to retail/warehouse sales stuff just to see what it pays.

I will certainly enjoy shopping even if it is on the other side of Arlington. Nothing like picking up what you need TODAY or holding the part in your hand before you pay for it. I hate getting something ordered in and find it won't work or didn't match the picture.

Go manage the warranty department. Find something you need and claim "it fell off the shelf, it broke".

This plan is full of stellar win!

OOOOhhhh , Guess I need to find a job there now and it will be like a pay increase since I will get a discount! Well kinda. Anything below upper management is not going to work for me. 18 years in parts with 5 years management so I guess I have a shot?

The facility, including a 32,000-square-foot retail superstore, will be located on 48 acres at the southwest corner of Interstate 20 and Texas 360.

Ok then looks like it will be in my old neck of the woods...probably going up behind the Uhaul/Outlet's

That would be the Northeast corner. Also, I believe that's GP, and not Arlington.

This news is very overdue but I am surprised at the location, they should be out at Alliance. It makes a hell of a lot more sense. It will be nice to be able to go to their retail store.
