Tepperman’s, a retailer of home furnishings, appliances, electronics and mattresses, recently announced that it has broken ground on a major expansion of its existing 100,000 square foot distribution hub earlier this month. The additional 47,000 square feet of warehousing space will stage the company for future growth in the Southwestern Ontario market, and will add some jobs immediately within the London facility.

Tepperman’s has been in business since 1925, when founder Nate Tepperman launched his company by selling household goods door-to-door. Today the retailer operates a combined showroom space of more than 250,000 square feet in Windsor, London, Sarnia, Chatham and Waterloo Region employing 450+.

The construction is scheduled to be completed by fall 2017 by the Fortis Group, who recently finished the spectacular White Oaks Mall renovation earlier this year. “This major investment is a testament to our confidence in London and SW Ontario. Immediate inventory availability and order fulfillment is critical in meeting today’s consumer expectation. This will improve how we serve, not just our local London customer base, but will allow us to expand our reach further into the province.” Andrew Tepperman
