McLane Foodservice Planning to Construct New Distribution Center in Virginia

---

Reported by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). McLane Foodservice, Incorporated (Temple, Texas), a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Group (NYSE:BRK.A) (Omaha, Nebraska), is planning to construct a new $30 million foodservice distribution center in Manassas, Virginia. The company bought 25 acres of land in the Premier Business Park in Manassas, where they will build a 235,000 square-foot center on Balls Ford Road.

Plans are to construct a building with dry, freezer and cooler space plus multiple shipping and receiving docks to support the distribution of food and paper products for convenience store, drug store, mass merchandise, quick service restaurant and movie theater industries. The company services the Mid-Atlantic region.

The company selected Construction Management Services (CMS) (Addison, Texas) as its design-build contractor, and the firm is currently working on the final design drawings for the project. Construction is scheduled to start around March of 2007, and the timetable for completion is about twelve months. Once the center is ready for occupancy, McLane will relocate operations from an existing location in Manassas.

CMS is also currently working on new distribution center projects for the company in California, New York, and Illinois.

Founded in 1894, McLane Food Service is one of the nation’s leading distribution and logistic companies, with more than 50,000 customer locations around the world. They operate 36 grocery and foodservice distribution centers across the country.
