This facility is the first of three new DCs scheduled to open in the coming months, marking a significant step in the company's ongoing efforts to strengthen its supply chain and optimize merchandise delivery. The Otsego DC will support nearly 500 Holiday Station stores and Circle K locations throughout the Twin Cities and the Upper Midwest. Spanning 266,000-square-feet, the Otsego DC represents a major milestone in Couche-Tard's multi-year effort to build a more agile, flexible, and efficient North American supply chain. Operated by McLane Company, Inc., a long-standing Couche-Tard partner and one of the nation's leading third-party logistics (3PL) providers, the site employs approximately 150 teammates. The opening ceremony was led by officials from Couche-Tard, McLane, and Ryan Companies U.S., Inc., which served as the project's construction and architectural partner. Trey Powell , Senior Vice President of Global Merchandising at Couche-Tard, and Josh Silcox , Head of Global Supply Chain, were accompanied by Chris Smith , President of McLane Retail; Bryan Murray , CEO of Ryan Companies; and Mike Ryan , National President of Ryan Companies. "This facility is a key part of our effort to build world-class distribution capabilities that support our stores and deliver a more consistent and rewarding experience for our customers," said Trey Powell , Senior Vice President of Global Merchandising at Couche-Tard. "With the support of valued partners like McLane and Ryan Companies, we're creating a more integrated and aligned supply chain, improving speed, accuracy, and availability, and executing our merchandising initiatives with greater quality and efficiency." The Otsego distribution center will supply Holiday and Circle K stores with national and private-brand packaged snacks, candy, beverages, tobacco and nicotine products, and other convenience items not typically supported via direct-store delivery, as well as prepared food items central to the company's "Fresh Food Fast" program.
