Warehouses

/ˈwɛr.haʊs.ɪz/ noun

Definition

Large buildings used to store goods and materials in bulk, especially before being distributed or sold.

Etymology

From Middle English 'ware' (goods) and 'house,' literally 'a house for wares.' The modern warehouse became essential during the Industrial Revolution.

Kelly Says

Warehouses are the hidden backbones of modern shopping—Amazon's massive logistics system proves that the warehouse, not the store, is where commerce really happens today.
