Discount retailer The Range, is building a state-of-the-art 1.2million square feet distribution unit at Gateway 14, a new logistics park in Suffolk.
The warehouse development is the largest to be built in the UK this year and forms part of the retailers plans to roll out another 100 stores.
It will be so vast, said the retailer, that it will be big enough to be seen from space and will create around 1,650 jobs once complete in 12 months.
The mega-shed is part of the firm’s plan to increase its existing store portfolio – currently 210 stores in UK & ROI – by a further 100 stores as well as adding thousands of new products to its store network and e-commerce business.
The Range is one of the fastest growing retailers in the UK and is owned and run by Plymouth entrepreneur and self-made billionaire, Chris Dawson.
