Lincoln-based e-commerce company Spreetail announced plans this week to open a new fulfillment center in Pennsylvania.
The 610,000-square-foot center will be in a large industrial park in Nanticoke, a suburb of Wilkes-Barre.
Spreetail said it plans to hire about 50 local employees immediately for the center, which is expected to open June 1. Eventually, the company said it expects to have more than 100 employees there.
John Yudichak, a Pennsylvania state senator, said Spreetail’s investment in the $40 million facility in Nanticoke is the largest economic development project that the city has seen in the last four decades.
The fulfillment center is Spreetail's seventh overall and second in Pennsylvania.
Spreetail sells home and garden products, sporting goods, electronics and other items on its own website and through eBay, Amazon and other websites
