Boston Wholesale Food Distribution Facilities PDF Download

Excerpt from Boston Wholesale Food Distribution Facilities The facilities recommended for the new food distribution center are designed for the volume of food handled by dealers who would benefit by mov ing to new facilities or who will be required to move because of urban renewal projects. The rest of the dealers have new or modern facilities, or they operate partly as retailers and would lose their retail business if they moved. During the study year, an estimated million tons of food moved through facilities of 556 inde pendent wholesalers and 6 corporate chains to all parts of Metropolitan Boston and points through out New England and eastern Canada. Trucks brought about 54 percent of this volume into the city; railroads brought 45 percent; and 1 percent arrived by boat.
