Ingles Markets is a regional grocer located in Black Mountain, NC, with more than 200 stores throughout the Southeast. A M King was selected to provide construction services for a new 835,000-sf, climate-controlled food distribution facility, with temperatures ranging from 55° F to -20° F. The facility houses 770,000 sf of cooler and freezer space; a 20,000-sf automated ice facility that produces 75 tons of ice per day; and a three-story, 45,000-sf Class A office space. Located on a 46-acre brownfield site, this facility was constructed in a flood-prone area; therefore, extensive sitework was required to raise the finished floor elevation. The project was completed on a 12-month accelerated schedule.
