Strategic Location

GRR1 is a large sortable fulfillment center in Caledonia / Gaines Township, Kent County, part of the Grand Rapids metro area. The 855,000+ sq ft facility at 4500 68th St SE sits in a dedicated industrial zone southeast of Grand Rapids, within a short driving distance of Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) and the regional freeway network. This gives carriers efficient access to Grand Rapids, the broader West Michigan consumer base, and onward lanes toward Lansing, Detroit, and the lakeshore.

VEA8 operates here as a Sub Same-Day node (“VEA8/GRR1”), supporting time-sensitive parcel injection and dense last-mile routes across Grand Rapids and surrounding communities. For carriers, this co-location of a major FC (GRR1) with Sub Same-Day capacity (VEA8) concentrates volume, driver availability, and appointment density at a single, high-throughput site—helping keep dock turns and linehaul connections predictable.
