Grimco’s Distribution Model: Enhancing Service & Efficiency
At Grimco, we understand that quick access to high-quality products is essential for our customers. That’s why we've developed a distribution model designed with you in mind. Our system prioritizes fast delivery—where customers buy products today and get them tomorrow—expansive product availability with access to thousands of products at your fingertips, and streamlined service to ensure your business runs smoothly. Every update and improvement we make is centered around one goal: enhancing your experience.
The Backbone of Grimco's Distribution:
10 Hubs and a Connected Network
Our distribution model is built on a foundation of efficiency and reliability. With 10 strategically located hubs in all regions across the US, we maintain higher inventory levels, giving you access to a broader range of products when you need them. Our nightly fleet distribution ensures daily deliveries to 58 branch locations across the U.S.
By consolidating orders and shipments at our hubs, we optimize inventory management and forecasting, enabling faster, more efficient service to our branch locations and ultimately, to you. While we strive to provide next-day delivery to all our customers, please note that this service may not be applicable in every case.
A Closer Look at Our Hubs:
Servicing 58 Branches and Beyond
Our most significant recent updates include the expansion of our Orange County (OC) and Sacramento (SAC) hubs, two key developments that strengthen our operations and improve service for our customers.
The new OC hub, a cutting-edge, 115,000-square-foot facility, has significantly boosted our storage and logistics capacity, allowing us to better support the Phoenix (PHX) branch and surrounding regions. Thanks to this expansion, the PHX branch will now receive direct service from the OC hub, providing access to 4X more products delivered straight to your door the very next day. Even if a specific item isn’t available at PHX, our expanded network ensures it will arrive within just one day, giving you peace of mind knowing you’ll have what you need when you need it.
Additionally, the new SAC hub, spanning 120,000 square feet, is designed to service our customers out West. This hub enables next-day delivery to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Fresno. While SAC also serves Salt Lake City, please note that next-day delivery is not currently available for that area.
Together, the OC and SAC hubs round out our network of 10 hubs, further enhancing our ability to provide fast and reliable service to all of our customers.
Why Empty Shelves Are a Sign of a Smarter System
If you've noticed empty shelves at one of our branch locations, there's no need to worry. Instead, it reflects our strategy to centralize inventory at hubs for better availability and service. Branches act as key connection points within our network, and even if a specific product isn’t stocked locally, it’s likely available at one of our hubs. Thanks to our centralized distribution network, we can quickly fulfill your order from a hub, deliver it to branch, and then ensure it reaches you promptly.

At Grimco, we’re committed to setting new standards for fast, secure product delivery, and service excellence.

Why This Matters to You
Our distribution model isn’t just about logistics; it’s about helping your business succeed. By providing faster access to a wider range of products, we’re empowering you to take on more projects, meet tight deadlines, and grow with confidence. The updates we’ve made—like expanding the OC and SAC hubs—are all designed to remove barriers and make your day-to-day operations easier and more efficient.
