CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte area appears to have been a finalist for a distribution hub and nearly 1,000 jobs, but the project is expected to go to the Atlanta metro instead.
Project Southern Charm, purportedly a codename for online styling service Stitch Fix Inc., will employ 981 and intends to make an approximately $56 million investment in a distribution center in Douglas County, Georgia, according to an agenda item for a county meeting scheduled for today. Average wages for jobs at the center will be $15.82 an hour.
San Francisco-based Stitch Fix is a fashion technology company with a current market cap of more than $2 billion. Though the company wasn’t named in the documents, sources said Southern Charm is a project name for Stitch Fix. CoStar also previously reported the company signed a lease at the facility named in the agenda.
