S&S Activewear Opens Georgia Distribution Center

April 23, 2018

S&S Activewear, Bolingbrook, Ill., has officially opened its doors to a new state-of-the-art distribution center in McDonough, Ga.

The new, 505,000-square-foot warehouse is the latest installment in the company’s national expansion, adding to facilities in Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, California, and Texas. Now operating more than 3,000,000 square feet across the country, S&S Activewear’s Georgia facility is equipped to provide one-day shipping to the Southeast (including Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee). The new distribution center opens just in time to mark the company’s 30th anniversary.

With the addition of the Atlanta-area facility, S&S Activewear can provide greater inventory to its customers, create more demand for its vendors and establish more jobs within the local economy.


“Having the new Atlanta distribution center in operation by early 2018 was an ambitious goal, but our team delivered,” says Frank Myers, chief operating officer, S&S Activewear. “The addition of our Georgia facility marks our presence as a complete national wholesaler, and we’ve been racing to get there for our customers by opening two new facilities in under six months.”

The opening of the Atlanta facility was made possible through the support of and collaboration with the state of Georgia and Henry County. Additionally, S&S would like to thank its employees, vendors, customers and partners at Cushman and Wakefield for making its southeastern expansion a reality.

“We’re very proud of all the hard work and preparation our team brought to this project,” says Jim Shannon, president, S&S Activewear. “The State of Georgia’s Training Commission was highly impressed with our team and commended S&S on an outstanding training program.” — J.L.
