Urban Outfitters, Inc., the leading lifestyle products and services company whose portfolio includes Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People, commenced operations yesterday at its new 600,000-SF fulfillment center for Nuuly, the company’s women’s clothing rental brand, in Raymore, Mo.

“The opening of URBN’s new facility is an exciting moment for the company, the Kansas City region, and our state,” said Governor Mike Parson. “Missouri’s economic strengths are continuing to result in significant investments from world-class employers. We’re proud to see URBN beginning operations in Raymore and look forward to the lasting, positive impact it will provide for Missourians.”

URBN is investing $60 million in two phases of work over a five-year period to build a second Nuuly fulfillment and laundry facility, which is expected to create 750 jobs over the next five years and will provide the company with capacity to triple its active subscriber base, following an exceptionally strong year.

"We're excited to celebrate the opening of URBN’s Nuuly fulfillment center, the company’s second facility in the KC region," said Chris Gutierrez, president of KC SmartPort, a strategic affiliate of the Kansas City Area Development Council. “An industrial hub with robust infrastructure and skilled workforce, the KC region remains a top destination for leading brands, and we look forward to URBN’s ongoing success here."

Since launching in 2019, Nuuly has become the leading subscription rental clothing service for women and currently offers over 19,000 styles from more than 400 designer and contemporary brands, including Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People. The new facility is a cutting-edge fulfillment center with full laundering and clothing alteration capabilities that will enable Nuuly to optimize its service across the country.

The new facility is located at the Raymore Commerce Center, which was developed by VanTrust Real Estate.
