  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
McLane for receiving the 2018 Commerce City Business on the Move Award.
  The Business on the Move Award recognizes businesses bringing new 
employment, growth in sales, or new capital investment to Commerce 
City. McLane started as a small retail grocer in 1894 and grew to a 
leading grocery, wholesaler and distributer in the 1970s and 1980s and 
to a worldwide logistics powerhouse in the 1990s. Today it is a global 
wholesale distributer of 35,000 products to over 50,000 businesses in 
the grocery, foodservice, convenience, mass merchandise, quick service 
restaurant, and drug store industries. In 2017, McLane completed a 
226,000 square-foot facility along Tower Road creating 235 new jobs to 
Commerce City.
  McLane is passionate about making a difference in the community. The 
company creates a diverse and inclusive workforce through their Hiring 
Our Heroes and Operation Network of Champions hiring initiatives. 
Employees also proudly support the Children's Miracle Network and the 
United Way.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to McLane for this well-deserved 
recognition by Commerce City.
