The 214,000-square-foot facility is located in Grayslake, Ill., and joins four others serving the ground shipping needs of Chicagoland.
The station will dispatch up to 130 vans per day to make deliveries in the area and employs 200 full-time and part-time employees, a number that could grow to about 500 when the facility is operating at full capacity.
The center is part of an ongoing nationwide network expansion that has resulted in 10 new major hubs since 2002 and the opening or relocation of 500 local facilities.
