The global online fashion, beauty and lifestyle retailer Shein is reportedly planning to open two new distribution centres.
The two centres are due to open in California next year, followed by a third in the Northeast at an unspecified date.
The new facilities are also expected to lead to a multiyear hiring spree in the US, with several thousand employees expected to join the team by 2025. But ultimately, the facilities will shorten shipping time for its customers. Currently, the company has been shipping its merchandise overseas by air, as well as via ocean freight leading to a long wait time.
Last week, Shein also announced the results of a study revealing that its current US facility, located in Indiana, will generate $175M per year to the local Whitestown, Indianapolis-area economy once fully operational, and will include the creation of more than 1,000 jobs by the end of 2022 and more than 1,400 by the end of 2025.
