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.

Jamie Dimon says creating a functional workplace means firing 'a—holes' — and sometimes that means your rude customers
Jamie Dimon has a tip for improving workplace culture quickly: "Fire the assholes." Speaking on Wednesday at the Databricks Data & AI Summit, Dimon took a question about "general leadership advice" for ensuring the next generation of workers is prepared to take the helm in an age of AI, constant distractions from their phones, and working from home. The JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO responded that it starts with a "constant and honest assessment of everything" from your customer base to your regulatory environment. Still, he stressed that while that assessment requires discipline, it's key to maintain "heart and humanity" as well. "You have to go out of your way to get the best of people, and it's amazing, if you do, what that does — for a country, a university, a company — if you create that environment," Dimon said. "You should fire the assholes," he added. "It only takes a few of 'em to destroy a meeting." The crowd erupted in cheers at Dimon's suggestion. "I hate to say this, but sometimes those assholes include customers," Dimon added. "I have fired customers because they are so rude to our people. And I tell our people that, if I allow that to happen, just think of what you'd think. Just take your energy and put it to someone who actually wants your benefits." This approach to creating an inclusive work environment is crucial to ensuring employees feel treated with trust and respect, so, in turn, "they can contribute to the company to the best of their ability," Dimon said. He said it starts with a top-down environment focused on discipline and effort, whether you're a pro athlete or the leader of the largest bank in the country. "If you want to be a winner in this world, you've got to give it your all," Dimon said. "And if you can't, there's nothing wrong with you, but you shouldn't be the boss anymore." The banking titan also reiterated his position on remote work, which he has previously criticized as antithetical to creating a vibrant office culture, especially for younger professionals. Dimon said it's hard to manage people remotely and much easier to have "real honest conversations if I'm sitting in front of you." "When you're with me, you get a hundred percent of my attention, a hundred percent of the time," he said.
