The Southtree team completed an expansion that involved adding a 5,000 sq ft building with two loading docks and a 3,600 sq ft storage warehouse in 2017. The new building connects two existing buildings allowing a smooth and flexible work environment to transport deliveries between the buildings. The storage warehouse was built for additional storage and is referred to as “The Barn.” In addition, a restroom was added, and the area between the expansion building and storage warehouse was paved.
In 2020, Southtree Commercial completed the renovation and addition of a combined 3,500 sq ft refrigerator and freezer that holds close to 12 semi-loads of food. The first truckload of fresh produce was put into the new refrigerator in early October 2020.
