Congratulations to our partners in Kansas City, Kansas on the announcement that Overstock.com, one of the world’s largest online home goods and furniture retailers, will open a new distribution center. The company has leased a 517,000-sq.-ft. facility at 5300 Kansas Avenue, which will begin outbound order fulfillment operations in October and will eventually expand operations to include returns processing.
