PRESS RELEASE
Elsmere, KY, July. 13, 2023 (FUN.com) – FUN.com is proud to announce the ribbon-cutting ceremony of their third warehouse on July 25th, 2023, at 4:00 P.M. With licenses like Disney and Harry Potter, FUN.com, along with their sister site, is one of the top e-commerce companies in the country. Located at 1780 Garvey Avenue in Elsmere, Kentucky, this new warehouse reflects the continuous expansion of its global operations and strengthens its presence on the East Coast.
Tom Fallenstein, FUN.com CEO, and Virginie Schena, Chief People Officer, will lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony, immersing guests in the FUN.com culture and guiding them on an exclusive tour of the distribution center. Esteemed local figures, including Mayor Marty Lenhof, the Chamber of Commerce, and BE Growth Partnerships, will be joining in on the festivities.
The celebration promises exciting activities, delectable food and drink, and, of course, an abundance of FUN for all attendees. Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper will make a special appearance, providing memorable photo opportunities to guests. A colossal 25-foot Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Inflatable will greet visitors at the event, ensuring all visitors will find the location.
Visitors can explore the state-of-the-art facility on scooters. At 285,000 sq ft, the facility is about the area of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, making scooters the best way to travel through the building. Visitors will enjoy sneak peeks of FUN.com's top-selling products that will soon ship from the new site to millions of homes worldwide. The new site will store and ship three times the number of products to match the growing customer demand.
Tom Fallenstein, CEO of FUN.com, says, "This facility can reach the entire East Coast from Boston to Miami with two-day ground shipping. Imagine how many more families we'll be able to deliver monster memories to!"
"We are equally excited to create memorable experiences for our incoming Elsmere, Kentucky team members," Fallenstein continued, "We like to think of ourselves as being pretty awesome. Each day we get up, ride scooters, and do what we love, being our FUN-of-a-kind selves."
The CEO, CPO, and Nikki Job, the General Manager of the Elsmere facility, will be available for interviews following the unveiling and tour. They will provide valuable insights into FUN.com's vision, growth, and the significance of Nikki's internal promotion from the Mankato location.
This new warehouse will create employment opportunities for the local community and contribute to the region's economic growth. Seasonal opportunities are currently available, so interested applicants can visit FUN.com/work to apply. FUN.com provides opportunities for every superpower, no experience necessary, and the company is already reviewing applications to fill approximately 500 seasonal positions with flexible schedules (both full-time and part-time hours available).
