Companies that trade in commodities or the selling of large amounts of merchandise will often need to own or operate warehouses in which to store these goods until they need to be shipped or transferred to other locations. Warehouses are often large buildings that can accommodate large amounts of goods, and which can be accessed by trucks in order to pick up or deposit goods. Warehouses are often a convenient place to store commodities such as farm products, metals, chemicals, and oil, as well as merchandise such as electronics, clothing, books and other consumer goods. Warehouses are often owned by the companies that make or sell the commodities or merchandise.
