Charlie’s Produce Ready for New Business Growth

Charlie’s Produce, a longtime leading independent, employee-owned produce distributor serving the western U.S., has announced plans for a new 66,000-square-foot facility in Spokane, WA. This new site will be designed to strengthen warehouse efficiency, support future growth, and enhance service across its regional distribution network.

After 30 years of operations at its existing location, Charlie’s Produce recognized the need for expansion to provide additional space and infrastructure to better support product flow, employee operations, and long-term market demand. The new building is expected to include 56,000 square feet of warehouse space with the remaining 10,000 square feet to be utilized for offices.

“Building a new warehouse in Spokane is a significant investment in our future in that region,” says Oliver Evans, Executive VP of Charlie’s Produce. “The new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art warehouse gives us a foundation to better serve our customers and sustain long-term growth. With a design focus on creating a better space to work, we’re excited that this is also an investment in our employee experience.”

According to the company, the new Spokane facility will include multiple temperature zones, increased vertical storage, improved warehouse flow, and 17 docks to support inbound and outbound movement. In addition, the site will expand parking and staging capacity to accommodate as many as 180 employees across shifts.

The Spokane operations currently serve customers across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana, positioning the facility as a key hub within the company’s broader network.

At this time, construction is projected for completion in April 2027.
