Urban Outfitters, Inc. has commenced operations for its 600,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Raymore, Mo., for the company’s women’s clothing rental brand Nuuly.

Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN) spent $60 million in two phases of work over five years to build the Raymore Nuuly facility, according to a release. The facility is expected to create 750 Kansas City area jobs over the next five years.

The facility, located in the Raymore Commerce Center, also marks Nuuly’s second fulfillment and laundry facility. URBN previously opened a $403 million, 1.5 million-square-foot facility in Kansas City, Ks., in Oct. 2022.

“We’re excited to celebrate the opening of URBN’s Nuuly fulfillment center, the company’s second facility in the KC region,” president of KC SmartPort, a strategic affiliate of the Kansas City Area Development Council, Chris Gutierrez said in the release. “An industrial hub with robust infrastructure and skilled workforce, the KC region remains a top destination for leading brands, and we look forward to URBN’s ongoing success here.”

The new facility features full laundering and clothing alteration capabilities to enable Nuuly to optimize its service across the country. Nuuly is a subscription rental clothing service for women which offers brands, including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People.

“The opening of URBN’s new facility is an exciting moment for the company, the Kansas City region, and our state,” Governor Mike Parson said in the release. “Missouri’s economic strengths are continuing to result in significant investments from world-class employers. We’re proud to see URBN beginning operations in Raymore and look forward to the lasting, positive impact it will provide for Missourians.”

The fulfillment facility was developed by VanTrust Real Estate.
