Dear Mark,
Theis Distributing Company, is currently considering moving to a location within the city

abasement.
The following information is provided for your consideration.
Respectfully,

Application for Consideration for a Tax Abatement
(I) Theis Distributing Company has been in the wholesale distribution business in
several locations in San Antonio for nearly 40 years. We have been at our present
location since 1958 and have grown to nearly $14 million a year in sales. Our
customer base is located throughout South Texas in more than 150 locations.
While our primary operating location is in the local area, we also have salesmen
living in 17 locations throughout Texas. They are located near a group of stores
for which they have responsibility to provide merchandise and service.
Merchandise is delivered to them by our fleet of delivery vehicles. We are
currently operating 40 vehicles; we drive over 1,000,000 miles per year to provide
service for our customers.
The need for more space with ability to further expand in the future has
necessitated this requirement for a new location. Schertz appears to be will suited
to our needs in terms of affordable property sites, spaciousness, and access to
transportation.
We are currently planning to build a permanent type structure of 47,000 sq. ft.
located on 6 acres of land that will allow for future expansion. Cost of such a
project, including land and equipment is estimated to be $1.4 million dollars.
(2) The following is a brief description of the planned Theis Distributing Company
WarehouselDistribution Center.
We plan on locating on a plot of land of approximately 6 acres. This will provide
ample room for present facilities and still have room for additional space for
future expansions. Estimated cost for land of this size is $100,000.
The WarehouselDistribution Center will be a single story permanent type
construction building. Current needs will be more than adequately filled with a
47,000 sq. ft. structure. Taking advantage of up-to-date technology and
computerization, efficiency will be greatly improved over our current out-dated
and undersized facilities. Included in this facility will be approximately 5,000 sq.
ft. of office space. Estimates are that this facility can easily support a growth
factor of 100% from our current sales volume. Additional growth beyond that has
been afforded by providing built-in expansion plans. Cost of this facility is
$1, I 00,000.00
The key to efficient operation will be modern equipment used to process orders.
A fully computerized, integrated process will guide merchandise literally from the
time it is received in the warehouse, until it is processed through various stages of
completion and finally arriving at it's location. The efficiency of high-tech
computers will be evident throughout the entire order taking/completion process.
Our goal for providing top notch service will be enhanced with this increased
efficiency. Cost of this equipment will be approximately $300,000.00
(3) Job Descriptions
