Macy's will be building a 1.3 million-square-foot fulfillment center in Martinsburg. It is expected to employ 1,200 employees and an additional 700 seasonal workers. The fulfillment center will handle orders through macys.com
The two sites under consideration are Tabler Station Road (I81 Exit 8) or Cumbo Industrial Park (I 81 Exit 16).

W.Va. lands Macy's distribution center, jobs (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/13/AR2010121303900.html?hpid=sec-business - broken link)
Kudos to Macy's for not sending these jobs overseas as so many other businesses would be tempted to do so, and for Martinsburg, to boot
Yes, i agree, kudos. But i think they wanted a central place in the Mid-Atlantic Region so they can distrubute to Macy's stores in the Eastern USA. Good for the Eastern Panhandle!

It's a lot easier to out-source a call center than a distribution center. Should boost the local UPS and FedEx centers as well.

Ok, ok.. when I put that out, I was thinking of the phone-in the order or maybe internet/phone ordering system, not the actual distribution of the item. That, in itself, might be difficult to do from overseas, ...altho look where many clothing items are made
Instead of bulding an entire new building, how about using the old GM Plant, and just add on the additional space that they will need? It's really sad to see that huge building go to waste like it is......just a thought. -mmccul
