## Resource

Kingston Bookshop just splashed a billion dollars on a massive 42,000-square-foot distribution center on Lyndhurst Road—streamlining warehousing, buying, and B2B sales under one roof. After years of juggling three downtown warehouses, this move lets them scale faster, serve clients better, and even squeeze more storage out of vertical space. Their wholesale game—dating back 30 years from stationery to textbooks, games, tech, and now school sports gear—is booming, helping them deepen ties with big accounts. They’re also reimagining their downtown footprint, vacating one location while eyeing expansion at King Street and possibly turning another into a hybrid office/rental space like their Portmore model.
