The new distribution center, which will supply REI stores with everything from kayaks to carabiners, is expected to better serve REI's growing membership in the east with more frequent product replenishment, decreased delivery times and faster turnaround time for REI's store pickup service -- which allows customers to order online and pick up their purchases at the retail store of their choosing without incurring shipping charges.
"Bedford County and REI are an excellent fit. Company share a service-oriented work ethic, a passion for outdoor recreation and a commitment to environmental and historical preservation," added Bette Slayton, President of the Bedford County Development Association. "REI, well known as one of the country's best employers and a strong supporter of communities in which it does business, will also bring significant new job growth and capital investment to region."
