]]> 2020-01-15 16:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sydney_greer3884/iyk2tiro8iyd/wish/431945514 As a team, we chose North Charleston, South Carolina and Akron, Ohio for the new location of the SPANX Warehouse.Our main reasons were: sydney_greer3884 https://padlet.com/sydney_greer3884/iyk2tiro8iyd/wish/431946000 We knew we wanted to do two warehouses versus just having one because it's less of a risk than one. We chose North Charleston, North Carolina because there's economic opportunity and they have really good transportation systems making it easy to get things in and out of the city. It's even close to a port so SPANX could easily get their products imported from foreign manufacturers. 
We also chose to locate one of our warehouses in Akron, Ohio because the rent there is extremely low compared to other cities we were considering and there are multiple programs that support incoming businesses.]]> 2020-01-15 16:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sydney_greer3884/iyk2tiro8iyd/wish/431946000 What other information about this city can provide more evidence that this city is best for SPANX? sydney_greer3884 https://padlet.com/sydney_greer3884/iyk2tiro8iyd/wish/431946593  Akron, Ohio
