Construction is already underway. The building is expected to be open by February 2016.
Ian Carr, logistics director for JD Williams, said: “The expansion of the Shaw site demonstrates our commitment to providing full-time employment opportunities within the local community.”
Councillor Howard Sykes added: “This is good news for Shaw and Oldham.”
The site employs up to 1,000 people.
