An institution in furniture delivery in Prince William County today celebrated its expansion by opening a new building.

Fidelitone, a national supply chain management firm, will open a new building near Gainesville to expand its abilities as a last-mile hub. The company specializes in delivering everything from beds to ottomans.

The company has had a presence in the city since it first opened the original last mile hub in 1999. Currently, the hub's workforce consists of over 40 percent of residents from the area.

According to a press release by the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, the new hub will have 80 percent more space and delivery capacity to fulfill customer needs. Fidelitone is a third-party company that transports furniture and mattresses from retailers to their customer's homes.

While plans to move the operation had been in the works for some time, according to Chief Marketing Officer Joe Giglio, it wasn't until September 2020 that a suitable facility was found to already be under construction less than four miles from its old location at 7898 Notes Drive.

"We expect to continue to grow with local furniture and mattress retailers as well as national retailers looking to deliver to customers in the Northern VA and [Washington, D.C.] area," says Giglio.

Fidelitone first opened operations in 1928. The company's services include inbound logistics, order fulfillment, and their last-mile delivery service, which first began in 1979 and included delivery to Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. Fidelitone currently has over 40 locations across the United States which include locations in Richmond and Baltimore.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 11:30 a.m. at the last mile hub's new location at 8511 Virginia Meadows Drive.
