The 125,000-square-foot distribution center is being configured to accommodate Rugby’s increasing volumes, the product assortment and evolving customer base. One of the most notable improvements and areas of specialization is the creation of a 33,000-square-foot will-call facility set within the warehouse. This area is set up to provide will-call customers with an expedited shopping, buying and procurement experience. Rugby will-call staff will assist customers with product selection, technical knowledge, and order processing.
