| Big Rock Sports Finds Home |
|
A good meal at the Webb Farm and shooting clays at DeWitts Game Farm, both in Ellerbe, left an impression on Wayne Decker, senior vice president of Big Rock Sports, which led him to return to Richmond County to build a 310,000 square foot distribution center for the East Coast.
The new center is breaking ground for a new era in Big Rock Sports distribution efforts, Decker said.
And according to Kenneth Robinette, chairman, Richmond County Board of Commissioners, it will hopefully lead to future expansion of the center and attraction of associated industries to the industrial park on U.S. 74 Bypass.
