Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- 2026 site updates show active nationwide warehousing and dock-appointment investment.

What critics are saying
- Amazon and national distributors compress margins on commodity boxes and containers.
- Dependence on warehouse throughput exposes Cary to service failures from dock congestion.
