ARCO Breaks Ground on New Cold Storage Facility for WCS Logistics, a Winchester Cold Storage Company

ARCO recently celebrated the groundbreaking of a new 83,000 SF cold storage facility in Winchester, Virginia for WCS Logistics, a Winchester Cold Storage Company. The facility will be strategically located near the I-81 corridor and the Virginia Inland Port and will offer customers flexible temperature-controlled solutions. This will be the third-party logistics and warehousing service provider’s fifth facility, adding to its portfolio of more than 900,000 square feet of space servicing the East Coast. The project is expected to bring 15-20 new jobs to the region.

“WCS Logistics is proud to announce this investment in our newest facility,” said Peter Yates, Chief Operating Officer of WCS Logistics. “This is our second expansion in the cold storage market in the last five years, and we are excited to be able to better serve our existing customers and to offer our services to others we have not had the capacity to assist with their third-party logistics needs.”

“ARCO is grateful to have the opportunity to partner with WCS Logistics on this project and the expansion of their business,” said ARCO Vice President and Operating Partner Brian Westre. “The facility is truly state-of-the-art and will bring much-needed temperature-controlled space to the local market. We are proud to provide design-build services for the project and look forward to its successful completion.”

The state-of-the-art facility will include 68,750 square feet of freezer space with 43’ clear height, allowing for over 13,000 pallet positions. Additional facility features include an 8,750 square foot cold dock, 12 dock positions, insulated metal panel (IMP) construction, and a CO2 cascade refrigeration system.
