Distribution centers are closing. First step is Anchorage, Alaska, Denton, Texas and Lincoln, Nebraska. Second step Clackamas Oregon, Pottsville, Pennsylvania and Marinette, Wisconsin. Step three once new distribution center in Texas is built will be to combine Remaining Sally Beauty and BSG distribution centers into 3. Good bye Greenville, Spartanburg and Fresno. Lots of people will lose jobs.

Is the Fresno BSG going to shut down?
Pottsville warehouse is closing in December, the massive warehouse in Texas is doing majority of the work. The next step is gonna be too start filling Sally’s inventory into the massive Texas warehouse then that will put out the rest of the Sally warehouses. That’s the game plan. Bottom line Sally warehouse workers will be OUT NEXT. Don’t listen to them. You heard it here. Sally warehouse workers are next to be gone.

Here is more information directly from Aaron Alt on the Q1 2019 results earning call transcripts. Sure appears major changes in the DC's and more closings. Read below.
Our supply chain is the product of acquisitions conducted over many years. We have 15 distribution centers across the United States and Canada. Our network is a really complex, subscaled by node and many of our facilities lack automation or efficient processes, which have become common in today's economy. We have too much inventory in the wrong places to allow us to optimize our inventory purchases, speed our placement or fulfillment and move goods through our network as efficiently as possible.
As a result, our team has been assessing our options in the context of the overall transformation of our business and how best to support our customers across both the retail and wholesale channels.
In an effort to improve our stocks, optimize inventory levels, reduce cost and explore new replenishment and fulfillment options, today we are announcing the first step of our supply chain modernization plan which includes the closure of our existing distribution nodes in Denton, Texas and Anchorage, Alaska by the end of the second quarter and closure of our distribution node in Lincoln, Nebraska by the end of our third quarter.
Here is some information directly from the earnings call which any one can access and read. Sure looks like major changes are going to take place, they have a plan set in place and end game is 2020.
