L
ast November, Eddie Jhin, president of Atlanta-based Jinny United, was in Cherry
Hill, New Jersey, to receive the keys to the newest warehouse for Jinny Beauty Supply,
the company's flagship multicultural beauty distribution business. While opening
this New York-adjacent, 145,000-square-foot facility marks a new level of success, the
distributor was already very well-established with more than 1.4 million square feet of
warehouse space in 11 cities across the United States. Having warehouses strategically
located throughout the country gives Jinny Beauty Supply the ability to ship orders to
its customers in record time. It also allows the distributor to offer retailers a selection of
more than 60,000 items from more than 400 manufacturers. These key advantages have
led to its dominance in the multicultural beauty distribution market. "We're very proud
that we can get to any retailer in the United States—outside of Puerto Rico, Alaska
and Hawaii—the very next day," says Jhin. "I think that's one thing that we have that is
superior to any other distributor in the United States." Expanding Jinny's large distribution
network has been a top priority for the company during the past decade.
