Leaders of Acorn Distributors, a janitorial and foodservice distribution company, broke ground Friday on its new headquarters and warehouse in Brownsburg. The company announced in January it was leaving Indianapolis and relocating to Hendricks County.
The company said it wanted to grow but was unable to find suitable land near its current location on the west side of Indianapolis.
“This is another exciting step in the journey to establishing Acorn Distributors’ headquarters in its new home in Brownsburg and we are thrilled to be breaking ground soon,” said Acorn Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Rosenberg. “Brownsburg has been more than welcoming and it is an honor to have several city council members and other town officials join us at this momentous occasion.”
Indianapolis-based Browning Investments, a commercial real estate developer, is working with Acorn on its distribution center while also constructing an adjacent 238,000-square-foot speculative building.
The company plans to move into the facility in 2023. In addition to its Indiana location, Acorn also operates a facility in Columbus, Ohio. The company distributes products throughout Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, northern Kentucky and southern Michigan.
