The Pennsylvania-based drugstore chain RiteAid will open a 900,000 square foot distribution center in Spartanburg, SC in mid 2015. The center is expected to create 600 jobs for residents, and support the fulfillment needs of over 1,000 RiteAid stores in the area. "The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job
development credits related to the project. Additionally, the South
Carolina Power Team, in conjunction with Broad River Electric
Cooperative, committed a $550,000 grant for infrastructure in support of
the project."
The facility will open in 2016.
