The rear of the building contains the warehouse, which occupies the major portion of
the building space. The warehouse is divided into four separate areas: Receiving,
Shipping, Packaging, and Inventory storage:
• The Receiving area consists of two loading docks (also used for Shipping), and
a 12 x 12 ft. area with racks for holding incoming packages. The racks are
divided by shipping company.
