LUBBOCK (Lubbock Avalanche Journal) – O'Reilly
Automotive Inc. will build a 225,000-square-foot distribution
facility that will create nearly 400 jobs when it opens
in early 2009.
The center will be part of the 548-acre Lubbock Business
Park, which is currently being developed. Construction
will begin late this fall.
Ted Wise, chief operating officer and co-president of the
Missouri-based speciality retailer, said Lubbock was selected
because of its location to new markets west of the Hub
City, including El Paso and eastern New Mexico.
The Lubbock Economic Development Alliance estimates the
new distribution center will produce more than $15 million
in annual salaries.
