Ag Distributor Expands in Bridgeport Industrial Park

Consumers Supply Distributing, LLC, a wholesale distributor of agricultural and animal nutrition products, plans to expand its operations in Sioux City to assist with its growing distribution channel to the west.

The City first entered into a development agreement with Consumers Supply in 2012 to provide financial assistance with the company’s purchase of the former United States Postal Distribution Facility, located at 2901 Murphy Drive. The company is now planning a 50,000 sq. ft. expansion to the former USPS facility in Bridgeport Industrial Park. With City Council approval at today’s City Council meeting, the agreement will be amended to include a modified tax rebate schedule and increase the minimum assessment on the property to total $4.8 million.

Consumers Supply Vice President Dan Patee said, “This 51,000 square foot expansion at our 2901 Murphy Drive location will allow us to gain much needed space in our distribution center to support our growing manufacturing of our Ranchers Choice and Country Vet brands of feed and pet foods made here in Sioux City. We expect to begin setting the building in February and hope to move into the addition in May of 2016. Consumers Supply has been in business 60 years in Sioux City and we appreciate the continued support from the City of Sioux City to continue our growth in this community.”
