The Farr West Distribution Center is a critical component of AFS’ business operations. This bustling building (over two football fields in length!) is where skilled team members expertly shelve and transport countless pallets of products, logistics professionals create and oversee complex delivery routes to the company’s member retailers and dedicated truck drivers prepare to brave the roads of the Intermountain West.
Distribution team members form the essential link between AFS’ valued vendors and the store shelves our customers depend on. Rain or shine, through mountain passes and desert highways, these distribution professionals ensure communities across Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona have access to the products they need.
Throughout Team Appreciation Week, the distribution team’s hard work and dedication were celebrated in numerous ways:
- Daily Meals: Team members enjoyed specially catered early morning breakfasts and lunches throughout the week, providing opportunities for teams to gather, connect and refuel.
- Exciting Giveaways: Various prizes and company-branded items were distributed, from practical gear to special Exclusive Brands treats.
- Achievement Recognition: Several team members received special recognition for outstanding performance with AFS.
The Farr West facility is more than a warehouse—it’s a team of professionals who understand their work directly impacts hundreds of thousands of families across the region.
Justin Johnson, vice president of distribution, highlighted how the distribution team consistently exceeds his lofty expectations.
