Food Lion's headquarters; Chewy announced a 700,000 square foot facility in 2019.
Salisbury has the Food Lion headquarters, and Chewy announced a 700,000 square foot facility there in 2019. Grocery distribution, pet food fulfillment, textiles and plastics are the lines the market data names, which is a short list of docks that all run in boxes.
Pet food and grocery fulfillment leave light single trip empties. Plastics leaves octabins. Textiles leave 2‑wall and 3‑wall boxes.
Salisbury sends grocery distribution boxes and pet-food fulfillment boxes in volume, plus plastics and textile boxes in smaller counts. Fulfillment boxes are usually single trip and clean. Plastics boxes may be octabins with liners. Describe the distribution stack by the pallet and the others by the box.

Salisbury names grocery distribution, pet food fulfillment, textiles and plastics. Food Lion's headquarters is here, and Chewy announced a 700,000 square foot facility in 2019. Fulfillment and grocery docks send single trip boxes in volume, usually flat-folded and strapped. Textile and plastics docks send smaller counts of other kinds. A request from a fulfillment dock should give a weekly count and a footprint, and one from a plastics dock should name the liner and the octabin size.
A Salisbury fulfillment dock produces flat-folded stacks, and they travel best strapped twice. A plastics supplier's octabins should be on pallets with liners folded. A textile line's roll boxes should sit square. Keep the lot sizes written on a sheet, and note how the flat stack builds across a week. A buyer who sees the rhythm, not just the pile, can plan around it.
The city is on I-85 in Rowan County. Concord and Kannapolis are the nearest cities south, and Mooresville and Statesville the nearest to the west, which makes matching easy. Say which side of the city the dock is on, and whether a truck reaches it from the interstate or from local streets. The county page is Rowan County, which the market data describes this way: Further up I-85; Food Lion's headquarters is in Salisbury and Daimler Truck North America is a major county employer.
A Salisbury fulfillment dock might write: one hundred and eight 3‑wall boxes at 48 x 40 x 36 in, knocked down and strapped, Grade A, weekly. A plastics supplier nearby might write: sixteen octabins with liners, 46 x 38 x 36 in. Add the ZIP once per site, and note that the first stack is a recurring flow and the second a single clearance.
Kannapolis lies to the south on I-85, and Statesville and Mooresville are the Iredell pages to the west.
This site states no minimums or maximums. A large pallet count is described the same way as a small one: by footprint, wall count, bottom and condition. Where a flow is regular, say so, because a weekly flow is easier to match than a one-time pile.
Count, footprint and wall count are enough to start.
No prices, minimums or times are stated here.
