Onli
ne retailer to add 300 jobs

LEXINGTON - Vitacost.com Inc., a leading online retailer and direct marketer of health and wellness products, will create 300 new jobs over the next five years to double the size of its facility and amount of employees in Lexington, the company announced Thursday.

During a press conference at the company's facility in the Lexington Business Park, Ira Kerker, Vitacost.com chief executive officer, told a group of state and local leaders, including Keith Crisco, N.C. secretary of commerce, that the company needs to expand because sales have increased 25 to 30 percent each year.

"We are a benefactor of New Year's resolutions," Kerker said. "Everyone wants to eat better, lose weight, take their vitamins and take their supplements. Our business model stays relatively flat throughout the year, and the first quarter it steps up 20 percent, and then we grow 3 or 4 percent each quarter."

Vitacost.com, headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., employs 285 employees at its 112,000-square-foot Lexington facility, which the company bought in February 2007. Investing $11.5 million, the company plans to hire 300 additional employees and add 115,000 square feet to the facility in Lexington.

Kerker said the company, which plans to have its expansion completed by the end of the year, has jobs in manufacturing and distributing, as well as opportunities at its call center in Lexington.

While individual salaries vary job by job, the overall wage for the new jobs will average more than $30,000 a year plus benefits, higher than the Davidson County average of $29,640, according to the office of Gov. Beverly Perdue.

"Competition for jobs is fierce around the country and around the world," Perdue said. "So it is particularly rewarding when a company recognizes our exceptional business climate and tremendous work force by continuing to invest and grow in our state."

Steve Googe, executive director of the Davidson County Economic Development Commission, assisted state officials in getting the company to expand in Davidson County. Googe said the company will get a $450,00 grant from the One North Carolina Fund, as well as a combined match between the city of Lexington and Davidson County.
