OpenStore Selects KC for First-Ever 113K-SF Distribution Center

OpenStore, the largest operator of businesses on Shopify, has chosen the Kansas City market for its first-ever distribution center. The 113,000-square-foot facility is expected to create 46 new jobs and bring $2 million in new annual payroll to the region in the next five years.

“It’s always exciting to see cutting-edge companies choosing the Show-Me State due to our strategic location, superior infrastructure and talented workforce,” said Missouri’s Governor Mike Parson.

The 113,000-square-foot Kansas City facility, located at Executive Park Logistics Center, represents a $5 million capital investment. The Miami-based business chose Kansas City as its fulfillment hub due to its central U.S. access point and its robust pool of talent with distribution industry experience.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our first fulfillment center in Kansas City, Missouri — a major milestone that underscores OpenStore’s incredible growth and our commitment to delivering world-class service to our customers,” said David Reifschneider, head of supply chain at OpenStore.
