Facility location problems are often optimized using mixed integer programming (MIP).

See the optimization packages ROI: http://roi.r-forge.r-project.org/

and ompr: https://dirkschumacher.github.io/ompr/

You can formulate MIP optimization models directly in ROI. ROI can link to a collection of solvers. ompr is a model management package for building models. It then calls ROI functions for solving. Model construction using ompr is somewhat easier that using ROI only.

Here is an example warehouse location model formulated using ompr and the glpk solver:
