A new concept food service goes to Fort Worth for a large new distribution center.
New Jersey-based Misfits Market sells direct to consumers vegetables and fruits, meat, seafood, and other foods that are considered surplus and could be wasted. The company works with farmers and manufacturing companies to regularly deliver products to customers who use the company’s online service to place orders.
Misfits Market has customers in 40 states and is expanding into North Texas.
To this end, a 353,920 square foot refrigerated regional shipping center is being built at 2101 Joel East Rd. in South Fort Worth.
“This highly specialized project will allow Misfits Market to reboot into the Dallas-Fort Worth market with a brand new, efficient cold store with a building that perfectly matches their temperature requirements, shelf configuration and custom assembly requirements,” said Brad Balke of Das commercial real estate company Colliers International said in a statement.
The new building will open in August next year.
Balke, Paul Boskovich, Mark Maguire, Nick Mascheroni, Tom Pearson, Justin Smutko and Chris Teesdale from Colliers negotiated the big warehouse deal with David Sours, Kevin Kelly and Lucy Durbin from CBRE’s Food Facilities Group.
“In contrast to rising construction costs and material delays, the process left no room for error or learning curves for this custom, refrigerated build,” said David Sours of CBRE. “The demand for grocery stores in Dallas-Fort Worth continues to grow, cementing its status as one of the largest distribution and logistics centers in the country.”
Misfits Market has been in business since 2018 and is based in Delanco, NJ
The company says its products are up to 40% cheaper than usual grocery store prices.
“We use high-quality organic products that sometimes look a little different,” says Misfits Market in his marketing pitch. “Fruits and vegetables that look too big, too small, or just plain weird. Often, however, it is products that are simply viewed as “surplus”. ”
After expanding to D-FW, the company plans to open offices across the state.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for home deliveries of consumer products, including groceries, has exploded. Dealers have added millions of square feet of warehouse space in the D-FW area to keep pace with shipping needs.
More than 30 million square feet of industrial space will be built in North Texas – most of all US markets.
