Melaleuca has announced it will be expanding its operations with a planned 508,000-square-foot distribution center in Kansas City, Mo. It is expected to open in early 2022.
âMelaleuca is thrilled to expand into Kansas City for several reasons,â CEO Frank VanderSloot said in a press release. âIt has a business-friendly environment; a well-educated, hard-working and talented workforce; advanced manufacturing industry expertise; and a strategic position in the center of the country.â
The Idaho Falls-based wellness company will invest $35.5 million into this new location at a former Harley-Davidson building at 11401 N. Congress Ave. in Kansas City. The new facility will allow Melaleuca to improve customer service, increase delivery speeds and create more than 200 jobs. The addition of this new location means Melaleuca will be able to ship its American customers their products within two days, according to the company.
