Rapid Warehouse Growth

A story about how Thrive Market's initial warehouse operations were quickly overwhelmed by customer demand after launch.

"Our original warehouse was in the center of our office - about 6,000 square feet. To give you a sense, we have 800,000 square feet of fulfillment center space today.

Within 2-3 weeks of launch, we had storage containers in our driveway that we had racked and binned that we were fulfilling orders from. Our entire driveway was filled with boxes stacked so high you couldn't see the sky.

It was crazy - once we went live with these value-aligned, authentic and supportive influencers talking about us, there was no turning back. We blew through all our initial capacity."
