Distribution Centers
The following table includes information about the distribution centers that we operate in the United States. Except for 0.4
million square feet of our distribution center in San Bernardino, CA, all of our distribution center capacity is owned. In 2014,
we expanded our Joliet, Illinois distribution center by 0.3 million square feet. We believe our distribution center network is
currently capable of supporting approximately $24.1 billion in annual sales in the United States.
In 2015, we began construction on our Cherokee County, South Carolina distribution center, which will be 1.5 million
square feet and fully automated. We expect this facility to be operational in the third quarter of 2016. In addition, we are
expanding our Stockton, California distribution center by 0.3 million square feet. We expect this project to be completed
during the second quarter of 2016.
