CARTERSVILLE, GA. — Chick-fil-A will build its first company-owned distribution center in Cartersville, a project that will create about 300 jobs. The distribution center will open this summer as a pilot facility, serving as a learning lab while the full-scale center is being built. When the full-scale center is delivered at its expected date of summer 2020, it will serve 300 Chick-fil-A restaurants. The property will also house 300 employees with jobs including drivers, warehouse team members, leadership team members and administrative staff. Multiple media outlets report that Chick-fil-A D2 Services LLC paid $3.7 million for a 50-acre site near Cartersville Business Park, which is located about 45 miles north of downtown Atlanta.
