Minneapolis: Supervalu has announced that is closing its warehouse facility in suburban Allentown, PA later in the year. T is Phillips Feed and Pet Supply, a local pet supply distributor, bought the building in November and will move in sometime thereafter.
Supervalu said last year it planned to shut the warehouse down within three years. It bought the facility in 1994 when it took over the now-defunct Laneco supermarket chain.
The company said it plans to consolidate operations into a large warehouse facility in Denver, PA. The warehouse closing will affect 125 employees, some of whom may be offered jobs with Phillips Feed and Pet Supply when they officially take over.
