True Value shakes up the supply chain

True Value’s Wilkes-Barre, Pa., regional distribution center was built with the vision of being True Value’s Northeast distribution hub. Now, as a result, True Value is prepared to collapse its Northeast hub-and-spoke model, which entails ceasing operations at its Manchester, N.H., regional distribution center by the end of 2024.

Additionally, True Value is augmenting the mission and operation of its Denver regional distribution center. By November 1, 2024, the Denver center will no longer service retailers, and it will transition to “storing network inventory and facilitating inter-company transfers,” per the company. 

The facility will remain open with a “streamlined staff” to support the center’s new activities and functionality. Retailers currently served by the Denver RDC will be serviced by one of four chosen distribution centers, based on what works best for that individual store.
