Sweetwater Unveils New Fulfillment Center

Sweetwater has unveiled a new $52.5-million-dollar fulfillment center located on its campus at 5501 U.S. Highway 30 West in Fort Wayne.

The state-of-the-art facility has 480,000 square feet of usable space - nearly quadrupling the size of the previous warehouse - and has a footprint of more than 7 acres. In addition to more space for increased inventory, new technology that was custom-built by Sweetwater's IT team will allow orders to be processed and filled faster, resulting in shorter delivery times.

The fulfillment center is now also home to Sweetwater's Guitar Gallery and Guitar Shop as well as electronics repair, installations, product photography, and more.

The new fulfillment center is part of a major expansion plan announced in October of 2018. Sweetwater plans to break ground on a new conference center this July. The $31 million project will provide banquet and meeting space for the company and the community and will be complete in the summer of 2021. Over $20 million of additional construction and renovations will occur between April 2020 and February 2021.
