Tolleson is a six-square-mile, self-contained community of approximately 7,000 residents located just 10 miles west of downtown Phoenix. Once dependent on agriculture, Tolleson today is a thriving employment center that hosts several large commercial and industrial employers including PepsiCo, Sunland Beef, Kroger’s, Albertson’s, Home Depot, Staples and Sysco Food Systems.
Tolleson’s advantageous location just south of the I-10 and the interchange with Loop 101 has made it a prominent distribution hub for companies wishing to deliver products to Southwestern markets. The Union Pacific Railroad also runs through Tolleson, providing a number of industrial sites with rail access. Air transit is available at nearby Phoenix-Goodyear Municipal Airport and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, located approximately 20 minutes away.
Tolleson’s small size is also its competitive advantage. The nimble and flexible nature of its processes and services creates an extremely development-friendly business environment that commands consideration.
