Additional warehouse space supports Kimberton’s expanding operations
EXTON, PA (March 18, 2025) – Hankin Group, a vertically integrated real estate company, today announced that Kimberton Whole Foods, an independent, family-owned, and operated organic grocer, will lease 17,500 square feet of warehouse space at Haywood Business Park in Exton, PA.
The warehouse is located at 711 Haywood Drive, the first of two new 35,000 square foot flex/industrial speculative buildings designed for light manufacturing and assembly, warehouse, or research and development uses. The building features 140’ x 250’ dimensions, 20’ clear height, 45’ column spacing, 277/480V 3Phase 600 AMP electric, and ESFR sprinkler system.
Kimberton Whole Foods is expanding its warehouse operations to support growing demand as the company continues to scale. The organic grocer utilizes its warehouse as a distribution center for local vendors that provide its stores with dairy, meat, produce, eggs, honey, baked goods, and more. In addition, the warehouse facility serves as a distribution center for volume purchasing goods from national brands, ensuring adequate stock levels in store and competitive pricing for customers.
“We look forward to welcoming Kimberton Whole Foods to Eagleview Town Center next year and are thrilled to help support another critical element of their operations with the warehouse space,” said Sam Sherrill, commercial leasing manager, Hankin Group. “Hankin Group was founded on the principles of community and sustainability, and we take pride in partnering with another family-owned business that shares the same values.”
“Distribution can be one of the biggest challenges for small businesses in the food industry. For us to meet our mission of bringing local, wholesome foods to our community, we’ve taken on that distribution process to support our local vendors to increase their reach while minimizing their environmental impact and distribution costs,” said Ezra Brett, chief operations officer, Kimberton Whole Foods. “This new distribution center plays a key role in providing our customers with fresh, high-quality products while supporting our local economy.”
In October 2024, Hankin Group announced that Kimberton Whole Foods will open its largest Chester County location at Eagleview Town Center in the spring of 2026. The brand-new, 14,000 square foot grocery store will be Kimberton’s eighth location, featuring an extensive selection of fresh organic produce, grass-fed meats and dairy, specialty cheeses, natural and organic grocery staples, baked goods, supplements, body care, and more.
Strategically located in Philadelphia’s northwest suburbs, Haywood Business Park is in a premier location just north of the Route 100 and 1-76 intersection, 0.25 miles from the PA Turnpike, and about 40 miles from Center City Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, and The Port of Philadelphia (PhilaPort).
Hankin Group was represented internally by Sam Sherrill. The building was designed by NORR and built by Hankin Construction.
