(Erlanger, Ky.) – One of the world’s largest brand name apparel companies plans to open a new distribution center in northern Kentucky.
Governor Beshear announced Thursday that Levi Strauss & Co. will establish a new e-commerce distribution center in Erlanger.
“Kentucky’s ideal geographic location continues to be a major advantage as our state’s logistics sector shows consistent growth,” Gov. Beshear said. “This commitment by Levi Strauss & Co. is the latest evidence that Kentucky is the perfect location for companies looking to get their products to customers as quickly as possible. I want to thank the company’s leadership for its continued support of our workforce and look forward to seeing this new facility operational next year.”
Levi plans to lease and upgrade an existing 575,700-square-foot facility at 660 Erlanger Road. The project builds on the company’s current presence in the state, including two distribution-related facilities in Hebron.
The new distribution center is expected to create 300 new full-time positions with an average hourly compensation of $27.13, including benefits.
Work on the project is expected to begin in February and be completed for operations in early 2023.
