Project Overview

  • Retention of 89 jobs and creation of 321 jobs in the distribution center; 122 new jobs and 33 retained at the customer care facility (call center)
  • Space occupied:  225,000 of distribution space; 20,000 square feet in its customer care center in Newark, NJ
  • Economic impact:  $4.1 million over 20 years
