One million of just about anything is a lot. When you are talking square-footage for a warehouse, you are talking about a pretty big space. At least here in Southwest Florida.

Operations for Florida-based customers started recently (April 17) at the new Uline warehouse in Naples. It's not quite 1,000,000 square feet but it is close, coming in at 915,750 square feet. It also now ranks among the largest warehouses (in square footage) in all of Southwest Florida and it's length is16 ½ football fields long (1,980 yards)

Uline refers to itself as North America’s leading shipping industrial and packaging materials distributor. According to a company press release, more than 40,000 items are stocked on miles of warehouse shelves and equipment inside includes conveyors, pickers and reach trucks preparing products for order fulfillment.
