Logistics and e-commerce company ShipHero plans to move to a warehouse roughly four times the size of its current facility at the Golden Triangle Logistics Center in North Las Vegas next month.
ShipHero CEO Aaron Rubin said the move is just over a year after opening its first North Las Vegas outpost.
“We moved (for the first time) on July 1st last year,” he said. “We practically ran out of space. We’re an e-commerce and logistics company, so there’s a lot going on. “
The company is currently on a 50,000-square-foot facility but will move to a 200,000-square-foot warehouse in the Golden Triangle, a 127-acre industrial park that is still under construction.
Rubin said the company plans to hire 100 people at the facility over the next two years, bringing the total workforce in the region to about 130 people.
New York-based ShipHero helps small to large businesses meet their e-commerce needs and offers a cloud-based warehouse management software system.
The company processed more than $ 5 billion in orders last year, and its clients include Canadian Tire and Universal Music Group.
In addition, the company closed a $ 50 million financing, led by Riverwood Capital, in June, which marked its first institutional investment.
Rubin said it made sense to add Las Vegas to ShipHero’s warehouse network.
“Vegas is very close to southern and central California (and) has a good workforce,” he said.
ShipHero is in good company as several large corporations and retailers also call North Las Vegas home for their sales activities. These include Amazon, Sephora, and CarParts.com.
