FARGO, N.D. — Border States has officially opened a first-of-its-kind Regional Distribution Center to support 28 Border States locations across 8 states.
The Upper Midwest distribution center is more than 300,000 square feet and is the distributor’s largest facility. In its press release, Border States says the center “marks a significant evolution in Border States’ strategic direction and ability to scale up operations around the country, streamline its supply chain and offer customers greater access to inventory.” The center will serve locations in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Montana and Nebraska.
“The opening of our new Upper Midwest distribution center marks a significant milestone at Border States,” said Tony Serati, VP Supply Chain Strategy and Optimization, said in a press release following the official groundbreaking in 2025. “This facility will help us better serve our customers, allow our employee-owners to deliver their highest level of performance and become world-class partners with our strategic suppliers. This is our first step in building a more resilient and scalable supply chain for Border States that supports our long-term growth strategies.”
The first of several planned distribution centers for the company, this facility will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and automation to streamline operations while empowering the company’s employee-owners to elevate the customer experience.
Work on the distribution center began in fall 2024 with ground preparation, and an official groundbreaking ceremony happened in 2025.
The opening of the distribution center will not impact how Fargo area customers engage with Border States; they will continue to go to the Fargo branch for all their needs. Border States also looks forward to expanding its Fargo workforce with more than 60 new jobs created at the distribution center.
