Winco plans to build distribution center in Beaumont
WinCo Foods plans to build a distribution center in Beaumont, according to an announcement made by Mayor Brian DeForge at Thursday's State of the City luncheon.
Distribution centers have been opened throughout the greater Houston area to provide residents with needed food, water and other supplies that have been scarce after Hurricane Ike pounded the Texas coast and knocked out power and access to clean drinking water for at least 5 million people in the region.
