WareCRE Launches as the First Marketplace Dedicated to Co-Warehousing and Small-Bay Industrial Space for Small Businesses
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WareCRE, a first-of-its-kind online marketplace connecting small businesses with nearly 100 co-warehousing and small-bay industrial property listings across the United States and Canada. As demand for flexible and affordable warehouse space accelerates, WareCRE answers a critical need for businesses seeking fast, scalable solutions in a shifting economic landscape. WareCRE brings together listings from leading co-warehousing brands—including ReadySpaces and other top operators—making it easier than ever for entrepreneurs, e-commerce sellers, and growing companies to discover and compare flexible warehouse options in major markets and emerging hubs WareCRE? Exclusive Inventory: Nearly 100 properties, with new listings added weekly, focused on small-bay and co-warehousing spaces optimized for business agility. Designed for Small Businesses: Focus on location, size, amenities, and lease flexibility—making it possible for businesses of any size to find space that fits their unique needs. Transparent, Side-by-Side Comparisons: WareCRE uniquely enables businesses to compare available spaces and operators, bringing much-needed transparency to the market. Backed by Market Trends: Small-bay industrial properties in the US now have a vacancy rate as low as 3.9%, with occupancy rates topping 96.6%—reflecting a market where demand is far outpacing supply. A Booming Market for Small-Bay Industrial and Co-Warehousing In North America alone, the warehousing market reached a valuation of $335.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 7.2% CAGR through 2030. However, less than 10% of new warehouse development is focused on spaces under 100,000 square feet, creating a scarcity of options for small businesses and fueling a co-warehousing boom. At the same time, minimum monthly spending requirements for warehousing continue to rise, prompting more companies to seek flexible and affordable alternatives. "Traditional brokers and landlords have consistently overlooked small businesses looking for industrial space; we've built something to serve them specifically," said Nick Gardiner, partner at WareCRE. "With small-bay vacancy rates near historic lows and North American warehousing demand reaching new highs, we built WareCRE to give these businesses the same access and transparency that larger companies enjoy—so they can find space, compare options, and get growing, all in one place." WareCRE is now live and accepting property listings from operators, brokers, and owners nationwide. About WareCRE WareCRE is the first marketplace built exclusively for co-warehousing and small-bay industrial properties. It helps small businesses discover, compare, and secure flexible warehouse space across the US and Canada. Founded by a team of industry innovators with deep experience in the co-warehousing sector, WareCRE's mission is to make industrial real estate accessible, transparent, and simple for every business.

Insurance group approves first container chassis crash guard
A container chassis designed by Stoughton Trailers has received the first award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for protection against rear underride crashes. A rear underride guard is a metal frame attached to the back of a semitrailer to prevent passenger cars from sliding beneath the trailer in the event of a rear-end crash. Underride guards that meet IIHS's safety criteria are more likely than others to withstand an impact, reducing the severity of the crash. Wisconsin-based Stoughton had previously earned the award for its dry vans and refrigerated vans. Now the company's 53-foot intermodal chassis – which carry shipping containers directly transferred from ships or railcars – also meets IIHS's 'Toughguard' criteria, the insurance group announced on Thursday. 'We're excited about the commitment that Stoughton has shown to preventing underride crashes,' said IIHS President David Harkey in a statement. 'Improving the safety of commercial vehicles is a key part of our 30×30 strategy, which targets a 30% reduction in road fatalities by 2030.' IIHS pointed out that in 2022, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration updated federal regulations governing rear underride protection on large trucks. However, 'the new rule remains far less stringent than the Toughguard requirements and is not expected to push manufacturers to improve,' IIHS contends. Stoughton was among the earliest trailer manufacturers to earn the group's Toughguard safety award for its dry vans and refrigerated trailers in 2017. To date, nine North American trailer manufacturers, including the eight largest, have earned the awards.

Howard Schultz says he is a big fan of Brian Niccol's 'brilliant' Starbucks revival strategy
Howard Schultz, the former chair and CEO of Starbucks, enthusiastically lauded Brian Niccol's turnaround plan for the coffee chain at a company event on Wednesday. Schultz was speaking at "Starbucks Leadership Experience 2025," an event which saw over 14,000 North American store managers gather in Las Vegas, when he praised Niccol's work. The former and current CEOs of Starbucks discussed the company's future during a fireside chat on Wednesday. "I want to say, when I heard you speak for the first time about 'Back to Starbucks,' I did a cartwheel in my living room," Schultz told Niccol. "First of all, it was so brilliant. It's short. It's to the point, and it's exactly the tip of the spear of who we should be, and who we are. And we are, above all else, a coffee company," Schultz added. Niccol was the CEO of the Mexican grill chain Chipotle before he became the CEO of Starbucks in September. Niccol's predecessor, Laxman Narasimhan, stepped down after 17 months. During Narasimhan's tenure as CEO, the company struggled with declining sales in the US and China. Schultz publicly criticized Starbucks' management in a LinkedIn post he wrote in May 2024. Schultz said the coffee chain's senior leaders and board members "need to spend more time with those who wear the green apron" and overhaul its retail strategy. "The stores require a maniacal focus on the customer experience, through the eyes of a merchant. The answer does not lie in data, but in the stores," Schultz wrote on LinkedIn. That idea of focusing on stores was echoed in Niccol's " Back to Starbucks" plan, which he unveiled shortly after taking over as CEO. "Today, I'm making a commitment: We're getting back to Starbucks. We're refocusing on what has always set Starbucks apart — a welcoming coffeehouse where people gather, and where we serve the finest coffee, handcrafted by our skilled baristas," Niccol wrote in an open letter in September. Starbucks announced its second-quarter earnings in April. The company reported $8.8 billion in net revenue, slightly lower than the $8.83 billion estimate compiled by Bloomberg. "Our financial results don't yet reflect our progress, but we have real momentum with our 'Back to Starbucks' plan," Niccol said in April. Starbucks' stock is up by over 4.5% year to date.
