Tailored Brands Opens New Distribution Center in Aurora, Illinois

Tailored Brands, the leading specialty retailer of menswear and rental products in the United States, has opened a new rental distribution center in Aurora, Illinois. This facility, located at 2000 Deerpath Road in the Orchard Gateway warehouse, represents a significant advancement in the company's efforts to enhance service and efficiency.

The new 285,000 square-foot center will service stores in Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Minneapolis, which were previously managed by distribution centers in Houston, Pittston, and Atlanta. This strategic location along the I-88 Corridor, known for being one of the largest warehouses ever built in the area, is set to drastically reduce shipping times and costs for nearly 140 stores.

The proximity of the Aurora distribution center to Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank stores will ensure increased product availability and enable the company's truck fleet to make next-day deliveries, significantly cutting down shipping fees.

The opening of the Aurora facility is also a boost to the local economy, with 125 full- and part-time team members already employed and over 100 seasonal positions expected during peak prom and wedding seasons.

To mark the opening, Tailored Brands will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 26, featuring CEO Peter Sachse and Chief Supply Chain Officer Jamie Bragg. The event will include members of the Aurora community in celebrating this new addition.

 “The Aurora DC opens just in time for customers preparing for late summer formal events and fall weddings, offering a wide range of rental and purchase options,” Bragg added. “I want to thank the team at Principle Construction for their professional guidance throughout the project. Principle's expertise, depth of experience, and attention to detail helped make this a truly state-of-the-art facility.”
