AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Woodland Direct, the nation's premier e-commerce site for fire products, is opening a new 47,000-square-foot distribution center in Reno, NV. This is the company's second distribution center, joining its world headquarters and distribution center in Auburn Hills, MI.
The new facility, officially opening in September, will improve the customer experience by shortening shipping times for West Coast customers.
"Woodland Direct has grown and evolved substantially over the past several years," said President and Founder Andrew Ingram. "We already ship all around the country. By opening the Reno distribution center, we're able to serve our West Coast customers more quickly and efficiently."
The leadership team began exploring the idea of opening a second distribution center in the final quarter of 2025. Woodland worked with logistics consultants to determine whether an expansion west of the Rocky Mountains made sense, and Reno's strategic location made it a natural choice for the expansion.
"We are excited to be a part of the Reno community, and we look forward to making our customers' experience even more enjoyable," said Gunnar Bennethum, senior manager of supply chain operations and business planning.
In addition to using local Reno companies Engineered Solutions, Teledata Technologies, and WTR Electrical to build and prep the warehouse, Bennethum and Warehouse Assistant Wesley Davey will be making the move from Auburn Hills to Reno to oversee operations.
The Reno distribution center will be using industry-standard software NetSuite to increase efficiency.
"This will be a new milestone for Woodland," Bennethum added, "that will improve our inventory accuracy and allow our sales team to have better visibility of product availability."
