Salt Lake City— Portal Warehousing announces the debut of a high-quality industrial solution for growing e-commerce businesses seeking flexible warehouse space that is scalable and well suited to their needs. The first-of-its-kind facility in Utah is now accepting new members for its initial location in Salt Lake City which boasts convenient freeway access at 1580 South 500 West. Ten of Portal’s 22 suites have already been filled by e-commerce and distribution companies attracted to its top-tier logistics infrastructure. Portal offers warehouse spaces and essential amenities to growing businesses and e-commerce merchants without requiring cost-prohibitive, long-term leases.
“In today’s ever-evolving business climate, companies of every size are seeking flexible office solutions like co-working spaces and e-commerce companies are no different," says Portal Warehousing Co-Founder and CEO Alex Morrison. “Portal fills the gap for growing e-commerce businesses by providing the ‘just right’ solution between traditional warehouses and starter spaces like home garages, basements, and storage units. The pre-opening interest we have received from Utah e-commerce companies has surpassed all expectations.”
Given retail e-commerce sales in the US are expected to surpass $1.64 billion by 2025, the challenge of securing suitable and affordable warehouse spaces will likely continue for new and growing businesses without the existence of the shared solution Portal offers.
Portal Warehousing’s answer for emerging e-commerce businesses is to offer short-term agreements for spaces ranging in size from 250 square feet to 2,500 square feet in its nearly 30,000-square-foot Salt Lake City location. This allows businesses to focus on growth without having to worry about subpar spaces and costly, long-term leases.
All memberships are inclusive of amenities such as high-speed internet, reception services, community events, shared common spaces to facilitate socializing and networking between members, and growth support. Portal members have access to direct-to-consumer business essentials such as dock high and grade level doors, enterprise-level equipment, shipping, and receiving. Co-working areas and conference spaces are also available for use as needed.
Portal Warehousing is rapidly expanding across the country with its next location in Phoenix opening later this summer, and other locations in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and Las Vegas on the horizon.
Portal’s Salt Lake City location is booking up fast with only 12 suites currently remaining. For a limited time, Portal is offering members who sign a six-month agreement one free month.
