Big Rock
Sports to
Open Reno
Distribution
Center
Big Rock Sports LLC has
announced plans to open a brandnew
100,000 sq ft distribution
centre later this year in Reno,
Nevada to serve its western US
customers.
The nReno distribution centre
will enable Big Rock Sports to
have the right products in the right
location, allowing for two-day
delivery to most customers in the
western states. Reno is considered
the distribution hub of the Wwst
and is strategically located among
the 11 western states. The company
is scheduled to start shipping
product from this new facility by
the end of 2017.
“This new distribution centre
represents a major investment in
the future of our company and our
customers,” said Andy Melville,
President of Big Rock Sports.
“It shows our commitment to
improving and simplifying how
customers do business with Big
Rock Sports.”
Big Rock Sports will relocate
product volume from its Fresno,
CA and Clackamas, OR
distribution centres to the Reno
facility. The company will continue
serving northwest customers with
their existing sales team from
a new office it plans to open in
the Clackamas area. “Our long
history of serving customers in
the Northwest region will remain
a high priority and we will stay
firmly committed to growing those
relationships,” said Melville.
Opening the Reno distribution
centre is the final phase of a plan
that Big Rock Sports has been
working on for several years to
serve US-based customers from
three strategically located, regional
distribution centres: East, Central

and West. This simplified, threedistribution
centre footprint gives
Big Rock Sports national coverage
and two-day or less delivery time
to the majority of its customers.
Most customers will experience
a simple, one-distribution centre
relationship with Big Rock Sports.
The number of split shipments
for customers will be drastically
reduced, saving retailers added
expenses and simplifying their
transactions with Big Rock. All
firearms have been consolidated
into Big Rock’s Central facility
and its firearms shipping policy
has been simplified to allow for
industry-leading two-day parcel
delivery to every customer in the
contiguous lower 48 states.
“We are committed to
supporting our customers now and
for many years to come,” Melville
added.
“The decision to simplify our
distribution network will allow us
to provide the remarkable service
that they expect, and enable us to
continue to operate as the leading
outdoor sporting goods distributor
in North America.”
