In these challenging economic times, Cory Home Delivery, one of the largest and oldest specialized carriers in America, announced that it is adding new clients. Announcement of the additions to Cory’s extensive roster of national brand retailers was made recently by Patrick Cory, managing partner.
New business activity includes the opening of a distribution center in Jessup, Maryland to serve a rapidly growing major furniture retailer in the Mid-Atlantic market. The opening of the new 54,000 square-foot cross-dock facility comes on the heels of the 2010 opening of a 78,575 square-foot cross-dock facility in Melville, Long Island. Running 20 trucks a day, the Jessup cross-dock is the first major Cory facility to open in the Mid-Atlantic market since 1998.
Other new business includes delivery for Sleepy’s Mattress, the largest mattress chain in the United States with more than 700 stores, out of Sleepy’s Robbinsville, NJ distribution center. Additionally, Cory now serves Darvin Furniture, based in Orland Park, Illinois, a retailer in the Chicago market since 1920.
“Consistent top service and strategic partnering with major national brand furniture, electronics, and appliance retailers are at the heart of Cory’s continuing growth,” says Patrick Cory. ““We are pleased to be in this favorable position in these challenging times.”
