Wholesaler to McDonald's, Chipotle Planning Distribution Center in Kansas

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Earp Distribution (Kansas City, Kansas), a food supplier to approximately 450 McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) and Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants in the Midwest, is planning to build a warehouse and distribution center in Edwardsville, Kansas.

The Edwardsville city council recently approved a proposal for the issuance of industrial revenue bonds and tax abatements over a 10-year period. Earp's plan calls for the construction of a 160,000-square-foot building that will include office space, refrigerated and dry-storage areas.

The site is situated on a 23-acre lot on the corner of Woodend Road and 98th Street, and is approximately 15 miles west of Kansas City. Earp has occupied a 90,000-square-foot building in Kansas City since 1975.

Providing the company obtains the necessary permits, construction could begin this spring and the facility would be operational a year later. The selection of contractors and suppliers to construct the new building and relocate from Kansas City will take place over the next couple of months.
