SupplyHouse Puts $19 Million Into a Locust Grove Fulfillment Center, Adding 330 Jobs

ON THE RADAR

LOCUST GROVE, Ga. — SupplyHouse, an online distributor of plumbing, HVAC and electrical supplies, will invest an estimated $19 million to establish logistics operations near Locust Grove, creating 330 new jobs in Henry County, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Nov. 12.

The company plans a 715,000-square-foot fulfillment center with 35,000 square feet of office space at 3090 Highway 42. Construction is expected to begin this month, and the state says the facility is projected to be fully operational in 2027. SupplyHouse, based in Melville, N.Y., has distribution centers in Nevada, Texas, Ohio and New Jersey, according to the release; this would be its Southeast site. Chief Operating Officer Nando Cunha said the goal is "bringing inventory closer to our customers, reducing transit times." Locust Grove Mayor Carlos Greer pointed to the city's position on Interstate 75 as "a gateway to markets across the Southeast." The company will hire for management, administrative support, technical, operator, maintenance and quality control roles. The release names the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Henry County Development Authority, the Metro Atlanta Chamber, Georgia Quick Start and Georgia Power as partners. It does not mention incentives.

Location Decision analysis: This is a delivery-time decision more than a labor-cost one. Every SupplyHouse distribution center named in the release is in the West, Texas, the Midwest or the Northeast, so customers in Georgia and the surrounding states have been served from farther away. A building on I-75 south of Atlanta fills that gap, which matches the company's stated reason. The open question is the building itself. The release says construction starts this month, but it does not say who is building or will own the property at 3090 Highway 42, or whether SupplyHouse will lease it. Spread across 715,000 square feet, the estimated $19 million comes to about $27 per square foot ($19 million ÷ 715,000). The release does not say what that figure covers, so readers should not treat it as the cost of the building. That matters for the county: Commission Chair Carlotta Harrell said the project will "strengthen our tax base," and how much it does depends on what is built, who owns it and whether any abatement applies, none of which has been disclosed.

For scale, compare SupplyHouse's last expansion. In a March 12, 2026 release, the company said a move near Columbus took its Ohio capacity from approximately 289,000 square feet to 527,000 square feet of operational space. The Georgia building, at 715,000 square feet, is about 1.4 times that (715,000 ÷ 527,000). The two figures are not measured the same way, one is operational space and the other is a building size that includes 35,000 square feet of offices, so the comparison shows order of magnitude, not exact capacity.

Whether construction starts in November 2026 and the site is fully operational in 2027, as the state says. Who owns or develops 3090 Highway 42, and whether county records show a lease, a sale or a tax abatement through the Henry County Development Authority; the release gives no terms. Hiring against the 330 announced jobs: an announced job is not a hire, and no hiring schedule or wage information was given. What training Georgia Quick Start provides; the release lists it as a partner without describing its role.
