RE: Kroger shutting 3 Ocado spoke CFCs28 Mar 2024 16:20
CFC is a Customer Fulfilment Centre, i.e. automated warehouses such as the ones at Luton, Bristol, Purfleet, Honda, Cincinnati, Groveland
'Spoke' is a last-mile distribution centre, that acts as an extension of the CFCs (Hub). Ocado has upwards of 20 across the UK, as does Kroger across the US. There is no such thing as a Spoke CFC. That's just clickbait to generate traffic.
While still bad news, closing down a spoke is not nearly as dramatic as shutting down a CFC. A spoke site has no bearing on the overall Ocado solution performance.
I've been lurking around here long enough to know that you thrive on the slightest of negative Ocado news, but please stop spreading needless doom and gloom without having all your facts.
