Plant
owned factory
Memphis, TN, USA[1, 2, 3]. Built for 1 brand on record.
Street address 145 Lt. George W. Lee Ave comes only from a wiki, so city-level. Opening reported between 1999 and 2001 (conflicting); recorded as circa 2000 in production/plant_operation. Sale of the building announced October 2017 (S284); closure around April 2019 after a December 2018 announcement (S288); later a FedEx facility (S285). 'closed' = 2019 follows the existing convention of storing the closing year.
