The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that Diamond Comic Distributors is moving its distribution center from Memphis to Olive Branch, Miss., just across the state line.
The new site is 600,000 square feet, more than double that of its current warehouse on East Holmes Road. The company also maintains space at 4292 E. Raines Road in Memphis.
Diamond moved the distribution center to Memphis from Sparta, Ill., in 2002. The Maryland-based company has additional warehouses in Torrance, Calif., and Plattsburgh, N.Y.

I don’t want to seem like a pessimist but I can forsee some delays for the Midwest when this move takes place. Moving an entire regional distribution center won’t be easy or quick. But getting more space is always a good thing so this is a good thing I think.

I hope this move doesn’t generate the chaos, late shipping, lost merchandise and tons of damaged product that the consolidation to Memphis did to begin with. Not to mention tons of misplaced and misfiled products.
