Sunland buys South Carolina warehouse

   Third party logistics provider Sunland Distribution has acquired a 722,000-square-foot warehouse located off Interstates 85 and 385 in Simpsonville, S.C.
   The 32-acre property along with the building was purchased from TGC, LLC. Built in phases from 1968 to 1993, the facility was once a distribution center for Pillowtex Corp. The facility will continue to be an operating base for Sunland’s Scotts Miracle-Gro account and serve as its new headquarters.
   Financial terms of the property acquisition were not disclosed.
   “We’re committed to making strategic investments here that will allow us to further develop and enhance Sunland’s ability to provide valuable
logistics solutions to our customers in the automotive, retail and chemical markets,” said Arch Thomason, the company’s chief executive officer, in a statement.
