"We're thrilled to open our new Thrive Market distribution center in Reno and bring more job opportunities to the region," said Nick Green, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Thrive Market. "Opening this distribution center will allow us to provide greater access to affordable and healthy food nationwide."
"The Tahoe Reno Industrial Center's proximity combined with the tremendous benefits of doing business in Nevada continues to draw attention from a variety of industries, including health," Pat Whitten, Storey County manager, said. "We've heard it many times that Storey County makes doing business in Nevada a viable option and this is another prime example of what regional collaboration can do. We're proud to welcome Thrive Market to our growing community of businesses that are calling northern Nevada home."
"I am very excited and pleased that Thrive Market has chosen Northern Nevada to relocate their operations here and we believe this is an ideal location to grow their business," said Mike Kazmierski CEO of EDAWN. "Healthy living and the proper nutrition that supports a healthy lifestyle for everyone is what Thrive Market is all about and a great fit for our region."
Business partners that assisted Thrive Market in their decision to relocate include, CBRE-Dan Buhrmann, Eric Bennett, the Governor's Office of Economic Development, Nevada Job Connect, and Storey County.
