Kimberton Whole Foods Expands with New Warehouse in Exton

EXTON, PA — Kimberton Whole Foods is expanding its operations with the lease of a 17,500-square-foot warehouse in Exton’s Haywood Business Park. The warehouse will support the grocer’s distribution of both local and national products, enhancing logistics and inventory management. The facility is part of a newly built industrial complex designed to meet a range of manufacturing and warehousing needs. Strategically located near major transportation routes, the site positions Kimberton for continued growth as it prepares to open a new 14,000-square-foot store in Eagleview Town Center by 2026. This expansion reflects the company’s focus on operational efficiency, sustainability, and support for the local food economy.
