Sunday, January 15th, 2012On Thursday January 12, the Wichita SWE section visited the Dillon’s Warehouse in Goddard for a tour.

The tour included a walk around the 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse with discussions covering how products are moved into, through, and out of the warehouse as well as Kroger’s recent support of some of the local convenience stores.
