Vitacost.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:VITC), a leading online retailer and
direct marketer of health and wellness products, announced the
opening of its new west coast distribution center located in Las
Vegas, NV. The new 155,000 square foot distribution center replaces
the Company’s former 63,000 square foot Las Vegas facility, which
is in the process of being closed. All products are now
successfully being shipped out of the new facility.
The new distribution center is equipped with A-Frame technology

processed from approximately 500 per hour to approximately 1,000
per hour. Over time, the Company expects this new technology to
allow the distribution center to process up to approximately 1,700
orders per hour at peak utilization.
“We are pleased the new distribution center was completed and
opened on schedule. The implementation of more automated
technologies will not only improve our efficiencies over time, but
will provide the infrastructure needed to support our continued
growth in the years to come,” said Ira Kerker, Vitacost.com’s Chief
Executive Officer. “Over the past 16 years we have built a Company
that is now the leading online retailer and direct marketer of
health and wellness products, and we intend to continue to gain
