The facility will support the future growth and expansion of Five Below, who sells merchandise for young adults. It features energy-efficient warehouse space, Class A concrete tilt-wall construction, cross-dock load configuration and an ESFT fire sprinkler system.
NFI is a supply chain solutions provider based in Cherry Hill, N.J. with a fleet of over 2,000 tractors and 8,200 trailers. NFI employs more than 2,500 company drivers and 250 owner operators.
