KANSAS CITY'S SUBTERRANEAN WAREHOUSE "THE CAVES"

WAREHOUSING MADE MODERN

Our Kansas City, Missouri warehouse, lovingly referred to as "The Caves", boasts more than one million square feet of temperature-controlled warehouse space - all spanning through underground KC caves. Before products are even unloaded from trucks, temperatures are checked to make sure all products are safe from the heat.

HOW WE DO IT

WHY THE CAVES ARE SO COOL

leaf SUSTAINABILITY

We utilize underground Kansas City caves as an eco-friendly way to manage temperature needs and conserve energy. This is 60% more cost-effective and allows us to maintain a 50-degree environment year-round - perfect for food items and other perishables that don’t need to be frozen, but require protection from heat.
