Nike just expanded its already-massive Memphis distribution plant with the introduction of North America Logistics Campus-Memphis, which now becomes its biggest distribution center in the world.

The sprawling 2.8 million square foot facility has been in the works for some time now, and marks the latest chapter in a long-standing partnership between Nike and the city of Memphis. The updated center includes 33 miles of conveyer belt, 73 outbound doors, and 96 receiving spurs, all combining to make the shipping process quicker and more efficient. 

"This facility was built to offer greater cost efficiencies, reduce shipping times and increase service capabilities for our consumers and retail partners," a Nike rep said in a press release today. And that's not all, as the expansion will also bring a number of new jobs to the area.
