What is "this"? This is a company called Zumiez opening an order filling center in Edwardsville. Zumiez is a national company with hundreds of stores across the country and a heavy on line presence.
The company is planning on having 100 employees at this location, but the question I pose is based on the fact that they have offered to transfer 35 employees from Everett, Washington. Now, when a company offers to transfer employees, with all the concurrent expenses, you know that these are not minimumm wage jobs.
So, it would be nice to know if any effort is being made to reach out to them to get some of those folks to relocate to Shawnee. I realize that we are so far away from Edwardsville (says this blogger sarcastically).
