Purcell Tire & Rubber Co. is planning to build a new distribution center in Phoenix, Ariz., that is expected to open one year from now.

Purcell Tire will break ground at the site "within a couple of months," says Purcell Tire Senior Vice President Al Chicago.

The 80,000-square-foot facility will be located 10 minutes from Purcell Tire´s current Phoenix corporate office.

"We´ll probably move our office to that location." The old office then will most likely be turned into a commercial truck tire center.

Purcell Tire has two distribution centers in Phoenix.
