The Expansion of the Distribution Center
Wiliam Miguel states that “currently we have one operation serving Netshoes deliveries and another serving Época Cosméticos deliveries. Thus, our expansion operation for the Netshoes distribution center in Minas Gerais will be divided into two locations, having one main distribution center and this new ‘annex’,” he explains.
Magazine Luiza did not disclose the investment amount due to the disclosure restriction period for investments by the Stock Exchange and because it is a publicly traded company. The expansion of the DC in Minas Gerais will be 14 kilometers from the current location in Extrema. According to Wiliam Miguel, the new venture will generate 500 direct jobs and around 1,000 indirect jobs. “It is expected that by the end of this year another 300 direct jobs will be created due to year-end demand. These 1,000 indirect jobs in Minas Gerais are for people who are being impacted solely by the expansion that is already underway,” Miguel reinforces.

With the inauguration scheduled for the first week of September, the distribution center expansion will operate with sports products. The location will distribute only soccer shoes, balls, swimming materials, shirts, gym bags, and other varieties from the sports world. Wiliam Miguel clarifies that the choice to remain in Extrema, in southern Minas Gerais, was due to the logistics already established in the location, as well as the quality of the workforce and being in a geographically strategic point for service in the Southeast region of Brazil.
