Why buy a building

One of the goals of our team at Slingshot is to own every part of the experience for our customers. Outsourcing to a 3PL is one of the scariest parts of any logistics relationship. We have had many opportunities to partner and outsource your shipments and storage to others, but we have realized something.

Everyone kinda sucks at this.

They all want you to follow their policies, work with their team, deal with their limitations, and pay extra for every little thing. It is like cuffing your wrist to a company that treats your shipments as nothing more than a transaction.

Slingshot treats your shipment as our own. We store things as our own. We scrutinize our work the same way you would.

When the opportunity came to purchase our own warehouse, and it was right down the street, we jumped on it. Leasing rates near us are insane, and even though we are buying a fixer-upper, we believed it would give us more long-term control over every detail of what a true Slingshot experience should feel like, all the way down to the warehouse level.

Let's see the building!

The warehouse is located in the beautiful historic district of Acworth, Georgia. The area is full of parks, walking paths, golf carts, restaurants, festivals, and plenty of great experiences. We want our employees and our customers to have a memorable experience when they visit.

The building has a ton of usable warehouse space with room to expand. It also has a large amount of space for offices, conference rooms, prototyping labs, and areas to relax. It truly is a dream for our small company, and we cannot wait to share more as our plans take shape.

Take a look below to see the current state of the building and what the facade will look like once it is completed.

What are your plans from here

We do not plan on owning the planes or trucks as mentioned before, but we love having a new space that makes their drop-offs much easier. The building includes three roll-up doors and one dock for true freight shipments.

The team is excited, and we plan on being here for a long time. Thanks for hanging out with us, and stop by for a visit the next time you are north of Atlanta.
