Butler-based MAC.BID is headed to the border, with the company announcing plans to open its 29th warehouse in El Paso at 12435 Rojas Drive, with operations slated to begin later this spring and roughly 80 jobs on the line. The expansion brings MAC.BID's auction-driven model, where returned and overstock merchandise is resold online, to a new Southwest distribution hub, which for bargain hunters, could mean faster pickups and a bigger daily inventory of $1 starting-bid auctions.
New El Paso site and hiring details
In a press release via PR Newswire, MAC.BID said the El Paso facility will be located at 12435 Rojas Drive, will open later this spring and "plans to hire approximately 80 new teammates across various roles and functions." The same release also says the location "aims to hire 50 local teammates in El Paso" and that a hiring event will be announced at a later date.
How MAC.BID's auctions work
MAC.BID buys returned and overstocked goods by the truckload from major retailers and lists items individually in online auctions, with all lots opening at $1, as detailed on MAC.BID. The company says winners can save up to about 80% off full retail and that items are picked up at local warehouse locations after winning.
Local hiring and on-the-ground signs
Local coverage noted the announcement and its Pittsburgh Business Times connection, as reported by WPXI. An Indeed job posting lists openings at 12435 Rojas Dr, including Facility IT Support, which suggests recruiting has already begun ahead of the opening; the posting includes pay ranges and bilingual preferences for some roles.
What the expansion signals
The move continues MAC.BID's rapid growth: the press release says the Butler-founded company now employs more than 1,600 people across nearly 30 locations nationwide. The company frames the expansion as a reverse‑logistics play, turning retail returns into inventory that buyers can win online instead of letting goods languish in waste streams.
For El Paso shoppers and job-seekers, MAC.BID is the place to watch for auction schedules, pickup hours and formal hiring events as the company finalizes its spring opening. The company has said it will announce a hiring event and additional local details on its site as the opening approaches.
