| Project Description: |
| A Wholesale Distribution Center (WDC) would be established to serve the more than 300 members of NANA. This would be accomplished by the purchase of an existing WDC, Rex Wholesale Grocery, that is for sale. The terms of the sale would enable NANA to supply many items to its members at reduced costs. Also NANA would have many good employment opportunities in the running of the WDC. Currently Rex employs 70 individuals. With the increased membership that NANA brings, more will be needed. Credit lines will also be offered to members as well as assisuance in inventory control and product line expansion.
