FSA Outfitting 372,000-SF Warehouse in Milwaukie

WOODBURN, OR-Food Services of America is relocating its 400-person distribution operation from a leased, 248,000-sf facility in Milwaukie, Ore. to an owned, 372,000-sf warehouse on 44 acres in Woodburn. It will be the largest of the company’s 10 warehouses in the Western United States.

The 10-year-old warehouse, located at 350 South Pacific Highway, was most recently used by AgriFrozen as a vegetable processing plant. The plant was closed last year. According to Oregon Title Insurance Co., FSA paid PF Acquisitions $14.2 million for the warehouse late last year, but that price may not account for an extra chunk of raw land that occurred concurrently.

FSA distributes food to restaurants, schools, hospitals, resorts, military bases, prisons and other institutions. The company rang up sales of more than $1.5 billion in 2001. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seattle-based Services Group of America.
