YORK COUNTY, S.C. — A new distribution and warehousing facility is expected to generate about 600 jobs over five years in York County.
Ross Stores Inc. is opening the 1.2 million-square foot facility in Rock Hill. The company plans to use the facility to distribute merchandise to its retail stores in 30 states. The distribution center is expected to be up and running sometime in 2013.
“Ross has found York County a good place to do business over the past 10 years,” said Michael Wilson, senior vice president of supply chain for Ross. “We currently operate in the county over 1.9 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space as well as our supply chain headquarters. We look forward to adding this new facility to our distribution capabilities.”
“Today's announcement is another big win for South Carolina. We celebrate Ross' decision to locate new operations in Rock Hill and create 600 new jobs," said Gov. Nikki Haley.
