<\/a><\/a>\n\u201cWe are very excited to begin services across the United States and extend the impeccable customer service and personalized touch that our customers expect of Morris & Dickson,\u201d says Jody Hatcher, chief executive officer. \u201cWe were already the country\u2019s largest independent full-line pharmaceutical distributor, and now our reach has expanded nationwide.\u201d\n<\/p>
\nThis licensure expansion is the latest example of Morris & Dickson\u2019s recent history of strategic growth. The Company has spent the last five years building a state-of-the-art compliance program and high-tech, automated distribution center at its headquarters in Shreveport, LA.\n<\/p>
\nThe growth strategy is now resulting in the development of a second distribution center, slated to begin operating by late this year in Olive Branch, MS, a suburb of Memphis, TN. Strategically located for expanded next-delivery to support its specialty and secondary distribution business, the Company anticipates the 97,200-square foot distribution center will add new jobs to the area and contribute to the ongoing growth of the Memphis economy.\n<\/p>
\n\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to add the vibrant city of Memphis into Morris & Dickson\u2019s rich culture,\u201d says Jason Hanks, chief commercial officer. \u201cNow that we will be expanding our services across the country, Memphis is the ideal location for our second base of operations.\u201d\n<\/p>
