Family Dollar Distribution Center

After an extensive search, Family Dollar Stores, a multi-billion dollar retail business, decided to locate Distribution Center #9 in Marianna, Jackson County, Florida. Serving Family Dollar retail stores in the Southeastern United States, the center is located at the intersection of Interstate 10 and SR 276 and is situated on a 75-acre site in the newly developed Distribution/Construction Services Park.

DHM was instrumental in providing technical information, preliminary engineering, and multi-agency coordination in the initial discussions with the company officials and became a key member of the design/construction team.

Meeting the challenge of an accelerated design and construction schedule was no small task. In just 12 short months, the facility began operation. It continues to operate under 906,000 square feet of warehouse and office space, employing approximately 400 workers, and positively impacting the NW Florida region daily.
