Leon’s To Build DC In Edmonton

Leon's Furniture Limited (LFL) plans to develop a distribution centre (DC) and corporate office for The Brick in Edmonton, AB. The 500,000-square-foot facility, which is slated to open in 2024, will replace an existing 365,000-square-foot facility. With this addition, LFL will expand its retail and distribution footprint to approximately 14 million square feet of owned and leased real estate across Canada. The upgraded DC will be the second largest facility in the LFL portfolio after the Mississauga, ON, DC at 870,000 square feet. It will service bricks and mortar and online fulfillment for all The Brick retail and commercial banners. At full capacity, it will house approximately $50 million in inventory with the potential to add an additional 100,000 square feet of warehousing space in the future.
