Bob's Red Mill Moves, Expands Warehouse

MILWAUKIE, OR-Locally based Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods Inc. has signed a lease for about 65,000 sf of warehouse space here, near its manufacturing facility and retail outlet. The multi-million dollar milling and whole grain distribution company is relocating and expanding from about 32,000 sf in another industrial park.

The new location is at Commerce Park, a four-building 347,000-sf development located at 2600 SE Mailwell Dr. SSR Realty manages the asset for NL Property. Trammell Crow Co. is the property manager. TCC broker John Fettig handled lease negotiations for SSR. Blake Hering and Mike Merino of Norris, Beggs & Simpson represented Bob’s Red Mill.

The company will use its new space to stage products for shipping throughout the US and Canada. Merino tells GlobeSt.com that Bob’s Red Mill chose Commerce Park for several reasons: the park is within two miles of the company’s manufacturing facility and inaugural retail outlet; it offered expanded and improved truck staging, and; SSR offered “a very good deal.”
