Komar opens Perris DC

Komar Distribution Services has opened a new distribution center in Perris, adding a fresh logistics tenant to one of Southern California’s busiest warehouse corridors. (streetinsider.com) Komar said April 22 that the Perris site will officially open on April 30, with a ribbon-cutting set for May 1 at 9:30 a.m. Pacific. The company said the facility expands its West Coast network for retail, consumer packaged goods, apparel and e-commerce customers. (streetinsider.com) On its Perris location page, Komar lists the building at 855,000 square feet, with daily receiving capacity of 30 containers, reserve storage for 55,000 pallets and e-commerce throughput of 10,000 parcels a day, rising to 15,000 at peak. The company says the site runs 24/7 receiving and multi-shift operations. (komardistribution.com) Komar had been signaling the move for months. In a January 2026 post, the company described the Perris building as an 800,000-square-foot facility with electric-truck readiness, a T-Sort pick-and-pack system and an automated storage and retrieval system with 80,000 pallet positions. (komardistribution.com) That matters in Perris because the city sits along the Interstate 215 corridor in the Inland Empire, with direct truck access to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and to major rail and freeway links across the West. Komar said the new site is meant to shorten and speed freight moves “from port to porch.” (streetinsider.com) The opening also gives a real tenant signal in a market still absorbing a large wave of industrial construction. Perris Gateway, a nearby warehouse project at Ramona Expressway and Nevada Road, was marketed as an 855,330-square-foot cross-dock building with 124 dock doors, 308 trailer stalls and immediate access to I-215. (perrisgateway.com) Developers pitched Perris Gateway in 2024 as a speculative warehouse, meaning it was built without a signed tenant, and said it was expected to create 800 permanent jobs once operating. That made tenant commitments especially important as landlords looked for occupiers in the Inland Empire East submarket. (iebusinessdaily.com) Komar is not a newcomer to the region. The company says it launched in 1998 as a division of Komar, traces the parent company to 1908, and serves more than 100 brands and 500 retailers across a network that includes California, Georgia and Oklahoma. (komardistribution.com; mmh.com) The next marker is public and local: the Perris Valley Chamber of Commerce has posted a May 1 ribbon-cutting at 3690 Webster Ave. In Perris, another big box is no longer just planned space on a brochure; it has an operator, an opening date and trucks to fill it.
