National DCP LLC has started construction of a 79,296-square-foot distribution center in Burleson that will supply franchised locations of Dunkin' across North Texas and beyond.
The Georgia-based supply chain management company said June 25 it broke ground on the $25 million distribution center, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.
It's a major real estate project for Burleson, located about 15 miles south of Fort Worth, and will be a sizable addition to the tax rolls.
When it opens, the center will serve about 350 restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma, southern Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Colorado. There are 73 Dunkin' locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and 234 in Texas. The center is being designed with growth in mind, said Stephen Down, CEO of National DCP.
"This centralized location will allow us to better serve members throughout Texas and the region," he said in a statement. "The City of Burleson has been a terrific partner, and their local investment in education will enrich our future workforce."
NDCP is set to receive $400,000 in incentives from the City of Burleson once the center is constructed, NDCP spokesperson Ally Wood said. NDCP expects to employ 76 people at the center and associated driver hubs. The company has nine other distribution centers across the country.
ARCO Design/Build is the construction and design firm on the project.
"We are honored to be National DCP’s design-build partner for this project, exemplifying ARCO’s commitment to designing and constructing innovative cold storage solutions," stated Brian Osterloh, executive vice president of ARCO Design/Build. "In collaboration with National DCP and Dunkin', we are leveraging our expertise in temperature-controlled environments to design a facility that enhances efficiency, ensures optimal product quality, and accommodates future growth."
National DCP is a $3 billion global supply chain management company serving franchisees of Dunkin', formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts. The company supports 10,000 quick-service restaurants across the country and distributes products to more than 40 countries.
