Candle Company to Open Distribution Center in Lexington, Kentucky

The new operation will bring 70 to 100 jobs



(Lexington, Kentucky) – Scentsy Inc. will invest $750,000 to open a new distribution center operation here and create 70 to 100 jobs by the end of 2009.

The new company has set-up their new operations in W.T. Young Storage's Orange building at 2471 Palumbo Drive and will occupy approximately 80,000 square feet, according to a news release from Commerce Lexington Inc.

Scentsy is a party plan company offering a variety of scented, wickless candles heated in decorative ceramic warmers, and other fragrance products. Scentsy worked with Bruce Isaac with NAI Isaac Commercial Real Estate Services to find their new home in Lexington.

“We are delighted to be opening a new distribution facility in Kentucky,” said Orville Thompson, CEO and president of Scentsy. “Lexington offers Scentsy an exceptional business environment and a strong core of skilled job candidates. The strategic expansion of our distribution operations here allows us to increase our service levels and streamline delivery to our expanding customer base in the eastern U.S., Puerto Rico, and other international locations.”

According to the release, the company began in 2004 in a 40-foot ocean container on a small Idaho sheep farm and has grown into a national company with more than 35,000 independent consultants in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam.
