Penske Logistics opens Michigan DC dedicated to The Kroger Co.

Penske Logistics has opened a distribution center outside of Detroit dedicated to serving The Kroger Co. of Michigan, the company said this week.

Penske's Michigan Fresh Center is located in Romulus, Mich., and houses Kroger products for the company's Michigan division only, according to Penske Logistics.

Built on 47 acres, the facility features 105 loading docks, -20-degree F freezers, 35-degree F coolers, an ambient temperature section, and ample space for commercial semi-trucks and trailers, according to Penske, which said it provides similar warehousing and distribution center management and trucking services to Kroger in other locations throughout the United States.

The $98.5 million facility adds more than 400 jobs in the region, Penske also said.
