Under Armour Facility To Create 1,500 Jobs In Tenn.

MT. JULIET, Tenn. (AP) — Athletic apparel maker Under Armour on Thursday announced plans to build a new $100 million distribution center in Tennessee that is projected to create 1,500 new jobs in the next five years.

Kip Fulks, the company’s chief operating officer and president of product, said Under Armour has already negotiated second rights to double the space by another million square feet in the future.

“We’re a growth company, so we expect full-heartedly to expand,” he said.

A Maryland company going out of state. Great work Dems - hope you are proud of yourselves.

Another example of a company that began in Maryland that is leaving. Excess taxes and a bunch of lazy unemployed Democrats.

7:19 and 7:21. Read the article. They are not leaving Maryland! This is a third distribution center in addition to one in California and the other in Maryland. Seems like a good growing company still headquartered in Maryland!

They will leave... they're just setting up another location. Watch for the layoffs here once they are up and running.

If maryland were more suited for expansion we'd have those 1500 jobs here.

Get your head out of the sand... they will leave Maryland.

Maryland is one of the worst business friendly states in the USA. Take for example the rain tax proposal... that's what happens when a liberal Democrat gets into office.

You can't figure it out because you are not a business owner just an "Article Reader & Believer".

10:06 Who would take them? With so many handouts, MD citizens are lazy and bloated. Even the ones that have a job are lazy.
