The Golf Warehouse is expanding its operations at its headquarters in Wichita, KS. According to The Wichita Eagle, TGW is leasing 130,000 square feet in warehouse space across the street from its current location, and taking an option on another 70,000 square feet.
Besides golfwarehouse.com, the catalog and e-commerce company also operates soccersavings.com, baseballsavings.com and softballsavings.com.
The current 105,000-square-foot building at 8851 E. 34th St. North is said to be overflowing.
“This is one of the biggest risks we have taken in our 13 years, to sign
this lease, from an overall dollar commitment,” CEO Brad Wolansky told the newspaper.
“We are committed for the life of the lease.”
TGW will hire 24 full-time workers for the warehouse within about six
months. Within five years, he said, the company expects to add a total of 105 positions. The company now has 225 full-time workers and 59 temps.
The company, owned by Redcats USA, saw double-digit growth in 2010 and is expecting that again in 2011.
