MINOOKA – Advertising Resources Inc. will move into 456,000-square-feet of space at a Minooka business park, Liberty Property Trust announced Monday.
The company, which repackages merchandise for retail display, will move into Liberty Business Center Minooka.
The operation is expected to bring more than 150 jobs, mostly in warehousing, said Doug Pryor, vice president of the Grundy Economic Development Council.
It was not clear when Advertising Resources plans to begin operations in Minooka. The company has a location in Alsip. Pryor said the Minooka operation would be an "outgrowth" from the Alsip location, so the jobs would be new.
The company's Alsip office did not immediately return a call for comment.
"Their business is a lot of repackaging," Pryor said. "They don't necessarily make product. They take the product and repackage it for retail display. Endcaps are sort of their specialty."
Liberty Business Center Minooka is a 212-acre development, which has additional sites earmarked for development, according to Liberty Property Trust. The site being taken by Advertising Resources is an existing building at 456 International Parkway.
