The warehouse, which employs 15 people and stocks an inventory of more than 30,000 products, is in an existing building that FleetPride is leasing. The company announced the opening this week.

Visalia's central location within California allows one-day delivery within the state, FleetPride supply-chain vice president Robert Lindley said in a statement. "From Visalia, we can also deliver to any of our 43 western region branches in two days or less," he added.
