Fruit of the Loom Expands Distribution Center

April 29, 2016

Fruit of the Loom, Bowling Green, Ky., recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open its expanded Palmetto distribution center in Summerville, S.C.

The expansion is expected to create 50 jobs in Berkeley County this year, according to the company, and primarily focuses on growing Fruit of the Loom’s e-commerce and intimates’ business.

Located at 1116 Business Park Road, the 402,000 square-foot addition more than doubles the original 350,000 square-foot building. It will remain a landfill-free operation and is LEED certified.

“Due to the state’s logistical capabilities, the location of our Summerville center made it the ideal place for growth,” says Rick Medlin, president and CEO, Fruit of the Loom. “The ribbon-cutting ceremony [officially launches] a new chapter for Fruit of the Loom and our growing e-commerce and intimates’ divisions. We’re excited to add more hard workers from Berkeley County to our team so we can better service our customers.”
