A Harrison company is expanding its operations and creating 100 new jobs over the next four years, according to a news release.
Lecheck Nutrition, a company that makes and distributes nutritional supplements, will invest $6.7 million into a new 437,000 square-foot facility, according to the release from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. After adding 100 new employees, the facility will employ more than 170 people in total, the commission added.
“It is my passion to help others in Harrison succeed and bring job opportunities to the town I have lived in for 23 years,” Lecheek Nutrition owner and founder Dustin LeBleu said in the release.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson joined LeBleu at the expansion announcement and in the release called him an example of what successful entrepreneurship looks like in Arkansas.
“Lecheek Nutrition’s decision to expand its operations in Harrison speaks volumes about the confidence they have found in the workforce here," he said.
