Why Houston Wins This Vertical
29.7604° N / 95.3698° W
Houston's central location makes it the single best fulfillment node in the continental US for brands serving the full domestic market. A shipper in Los Angeles needs multiple warehouses to reach the East Coast in 2 days. A shipper in New York needs multiple warehouses to reach the West. A shipper in Houston covers both with one operation.
Add Houston's lower operating costs and deep labor market, and you get retail and e-commerce logistics that consistently beat coastal 3PLs on both speed and cost.
