Urban Outfitters opens new distribution center in Missouri for Nuuly

Urban Outfitters Inc. is opening a new 600,000-square-foot fulfillment center for Nuuly, the U.S. company’s women’s clothing rental brand, in Raymore, Missouri.

The Philadelphia-based company said it is investing $60 million in two phases of work over a five-year period to build a second Nuuly fulfillment and laundry facility, which is expected to create 750 jobs over the next five years and will provide the company with capacity to triple its active subscriber base.

Located at the Raymore Commerce Center, which was developed by VanTrust Real Estate, the new Nuuly facility is a cutting-edge fulfillment center with full laundering and clothing alteration capabilities that will enable Nuuly to optimize its service across the country.

“Nuuly has experienced unprecedented growth and momentum, and we are excited to expand our operations to the Kansas City region to support our next phase of growth,” said David Hayne, chief technology officer of URBN and president of Nuuly.

“Opening our second U.S. fulfillment center will allow us to grow well into the future.”

Since launching in 2019, Nuuly has become a leading subscription rental clothing service for women and currently offers over 19,000 styles from more than 400 designer and contemporary brands, including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People.
