Johnson Warehousing operates a 62,000 sq ft facility in Lee’s Summit, MO, supporting B2B warehousing, contract programs, distribution, and 3PL execution across the greater Kansas City metro and the central U.S. We own and operate the building, the racks, the vaults, and the local handling. With 35 ft clear height, freight-height dock doors, drive-in bays, and an additional 250,000 sq ft of temporary warehouse capacity available on flex, this is the network’s largest single-building footprint and our primary Midwest distribution hub.
What This Location Is Best For
The Lee’s Summit facility is positioned for high-volume, central-U.S. distribution programs and large-footprint contract warehousing. The current capacity profile, with significant open floor space and 35 ft clear height, makes it a strong fit for buyers who need to move pallets fast, position inventory for multi-state distribution, or run dedicated programs at scale. The strongest fits include:

Note that we operate two facilities in this market: Lee’s Summit (Missouri side, current open capacity) and Topeka (Kansas side, currently fully committed).
