Containers full of RIDEMAKERZ product are moving through the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles on their way to Regal’s new facility located at 12101 Western Avenue, Garden Grove, CA. From there Regal will distribute the toys to RIDEMAKERZ’ Anaheim location to satisfy the growing demand for this unique “build your own” toy cars experience and establish a more direct distribution route.
“RIDEMAKERZ anticipates new transit savings by importing product from our China factories into Regal’s LA area DC for distribution to our Anaheim store. We moved all our warehousing and fulfillment operations for our Southern California store to Regal’s new facility,” says Rich Rooney, RIDEMAKERZ’ Director of Sales and Operations Planning. “We’re also using Regal’s Seattle Distribution Center for wholesale business, and its Charleston facility for retail business supporting our stores in Orlando, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Branson, Missouri.”
“Regal Logistics recognizes the supply chain efficiencies that are gained by using the most direct distribution route. With increasing transportation costs, it’s the most cost-effective way for RIDEMAKERZ to reach Southern California consumers,” says Garry Neeves, Regal Logistics Vice President. “We understand that today’s high performance supply chain is all about options and emphasis on cost-conscious shipping to increase efficiency. With 1.6 million square feet of high-velocity Distribution Center in Southern California, the U.S. Southeast and Pacific Northwest, Regal is able to move product destined for retailers more directly and cost-efficiently, and offer the flexible, multi-port gateway shipment options the market is demanding.”
RIDEMAKERZ will use all Regal Logistics’ warehousing, distribution, transportation and value added services for the receiving, handling and distribution of its product, including critical information technologies necessary for retailer-compliant shipments, such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), real time inventory tracking dashboard and bar coding.
