WILMER, DALLAS COUNTY – Work is finishing up on consumer products giant Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) huge new warehouse in Wilmer.

The more than 1.4 million-sf distribution center is located on the west side of I-45 at Mars Rd. will house about 500 workers.

Almost all of the workers will be employed by two companies that will operate the facility, according to P&G spokesman Jeff LeRoy. “Both are now hiring,” said LeRoy.
