Why Priority One

"Miles are money especially in distribution. Success requires something in common with desirable real estate - location, location, location. Cedar Rapids is in the middle of a circle formed by the major markets of Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. We're also in the 'sweet spot' between both coasts and Canada and Mexico. It give us a logistical advantage."
