ARCO’s Detroit division is nearing completion on a cold storage facility expansion for Weeks Food Corporation, a fifth-generation, family-owned and operated wholesale food distributor. The expansion will add 21,515 SF of temperature-controlled space to the company’s current meat distribution facility located at 36901 Division Rd., Richmond, Michigan, 48062.
The project will enhance the company’s next-day service of top-quality beef, pork, poultry, seafood, and additional frozen food products while also supplying fresh chicken to KFC and Popeye’s locations across Michigan and northern Ohio.
Once complete, the expansion will include a 10,231 SF 34°F-36°F cooler, 6,232 SF 36°F cold dock, and 4,795 SF -10°F freezer. Site development includes city utility connections and decommissioning and removal of the existing sanitary field system.
Additional features include fire-rated insulated metal panel construction to allow for separation of cold storage spaces, 28’ clear height, six dock positions, a freon refrigeration system, and a 1,200-amp electrical service.
The site is designed to accommodate future expansion, ensuring long-term growth potential for Weeks Food Corporation. Throughout the construction phase, Weeks Food Corporation will remain fully operational in their existing facility, ensuring uninterrupted service for their customers.
