Moss Motors, Ltd. Announces East Coast Expansion/Relocation

Goleta, CA, March 10, 2008 - Moss Motors' East Coast distribution facility is moving. Established in 1988, Moss' Dover, NJ warehouse no longer has sufficient space to expand. Taking into account distribution patterns, cost of living and lifestyle issues, the decision has been made to move distribution to a new facility in Virginia.

The world's oldest and largest supplier of British sports car restoration and accessory products, is also a fast growing supplier of modern accessories for various Ford, Mazda and BMW Mini models. Company President, Glen Adams, says "By moving to larger quarters, we can better serve our east coast customers, and expand product lines. Product availability will be dramatically improved and overall delivery times reduced. Relocating to Virginia also helps our staff by placing them in a more affordable environment."

The move will take place in the second half of 2008. Notification will be given before New Jersey ceases operations. However, orders will continue to be processed daily from California as usual. This will mean slightly increased delivery times for east coast customers while the move takes place, but availability will improve, and delivery times drop as the new facility comes on line. Every effort will be made to reduce or eliminate the impact on delivery times.

Located south of Richmond, VA, on 22 acres, the new building offers 112,000 square feet of combined office and warehouse space. The site is already prepared to allow for approximately 100,000 square feet of warehouse expansion. A park like setting makes the new location ideal for marque days and other promotional activities.

Reminds me of that old joke. Q: What's the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee? A: The Yankee went home.

Could be time for a road trip. :)

Good. Virginia is closer to me.

I guess this means you Virginians will now have to pay sales tax on your orders:-(
Then again, New Jersey residents now won't have to, a positive for them.
I wish Moss in Goleta would move to Arizona, still close but I wouldn't have to pay Kelifornia tax;-)

This is practically walking distance from my house. I'll gladly pay sales tax and give up shipping costs, plus get counter service!

NJ orders already arrived fairly fast here- now I should be able to get next day service using UPS ground! Not too bad of drive for counter sales for me either. I can deal with paying sales tax. In VA, you're supposed to report your internet purchases on your state return and pay taxes on them anyway.

Hey Daniel. The I-64 sniper didn't get your MG out there last night did she?

Wow! Now they'll be a lot closer to Atlanta! That means somewhat less of a screwing on shipping!!

They shoulda moved to Memphis - home of FedEx! Lots of companies have moved their distribution centers here for that very reason.

sweet, my company headquarters is in Richmond!
