Exactly one year to the day that the Starbucks Distribution Center and Roasting Plant broke ground on its expansion, the ribbon was cut on June 7 in celebration of the completed project.<\/p>\n
The addition of 710,000 square feet brought the total size of the distribution center, located near the Minden-Tahoe Airport, to 895,000 square feet.<\/p>\n
The expansion consolidated two offsite warehouses in Reno, and many workers from those sites were relocated to positions at the Douglas center.<\/p>\n
Manager of Communications and Engagement Alisa Carroll said the expansion will bring 120 new Starbucks jobs to the Carson Valley plant, bringing the total to approximately 550 employees.<\/p>\n
It is 100 percent zero landfill, she said, and waste will be recycled or sent to a digesting center in Sacramento.<\/p>\n
