ARCO National Construction’s Kansas City division, has announced its partnership with Mies Family Foods to build a new, state-of-the-art 78,664 SF cold storage facility in Kansas City, Kansas. As a leading wholesale distributor of fresh and frozen beef, pork, poultry, and additional food products, Mies Family Foods is expanding its operations to meet increasing demand while significantly upgrading its distribution capabilities. The new facility will more than triple the company’s current capacity.
Located at 6036 Speaker Road, Kansas City, Kansas, 66111, the facility will offer easy access to Interstate 70 and Interstate 635, enabling the company to reach customers efficiently. The Kansas City region continues to be a prime market for cold storage development due to its central location in the nation’s agricultural heartland and ability to reach approximately 80 percent of the U.S. in just two days.
“ARCO is partnering with a growing number of companies like Mies Family Foods, as the location benefits of the Kansas City region combined with the resiliency of the food and beverage industry continue to drive demand for cold storage space,” says Sam Stahnke, Vice President for ARCO National Construction in Kansas City. “We are thrilled to partner with Mies Family Foods on this significant expansion of their growing business and look forward to the project’s successful completion.”
The state-of-the-art facility will feature a 41,000 SF 0°F freezer, a 13,500 SF 38°F cold dock, and an 8,000 SF 36°F cooler. Additional facility features include insulated tilt-up construction with insulated metal panels in the freezer and cold dock spaces, 32’ clear height, 10 cold dock positions, and one drive-in ramp.
The project will relocate Mies Family Foods’ operations and current employees from North Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas. The new facility is expected to generate 15 additional jobs over the next three years.
ARCO National Construction’s Kansas City division is providing design-build services for the project. Backed by a nationwide presence, ARCO brings more than 75 million square feet of expertise across 585+ projects for food and beverage clientele.
