Wagner Logistics Prep for World Cup Surge

0:00Kansas City businesses are ramping up for the World Cup, with major help from Wagner logistics, a third-party company handling the behind-the-scenes, storage and supply chain needs. They're anticipating a fire to 10% jump and demand for everything from food to fan gear, so they're clearing space and stocking up early to keep things flowing smooth. Joe Oliaro, the company's VP of sales, showed off one of their warehouses in Kansas City, Kansas, stacked with 18 million pizza boxes right. Now that's enough for about 1.1 billion pizzas passing through yearly. They manage spots across the metro for all kinds of goods, making sure nothing runs short when crowds hit. Local spots like restaurants, hotels, beer distributors and concession stands are counting on this prep for extra-to-go orders and World Cup merch. It's not just pizza. Apparel and beverages are getting the same treatment to handle the influx of visitors watching the games. Even if visitor numbers don't hit projections, Wagner isn't sweating it. They're built to adapt and have experience planning for big events like this. Their motto is simple. Bring it.
