Georgia Governor Brian P. Kemp announced late last week that Duluth Trading Company, a casual wear, workwear, and accessory retailer for men and women, will build a new distribution and fulfillment facility in Adairsville. The new facility will create more than 300 new jobs and represents an investment of $53 million in Bartow County.

“We are excited to welcome an iconic brand in Duluth Trading Company to the Peach State,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “We are confident this new facility will begin a prosperous relationship with the people of Bartow County as Duluth expands to meet the distribution needs of our modern economy. Georgia’s prime location and robust infrastructure allows companies to distribute products to 80 percent of the U.S. market in less than two days of drive time or two hours by plane.”

Duluth Trading is based in Wisconsin and serves as a problem-solution workwear destination. Known for its humorous marketing and focus on high-quality customer service, the company operates primarily online with 65 retail locations, including one in Kennesaw, Georgia.
