| Business defies recession with expansion plans |
Marta Murvosh | Skagit Valley Herald
June 16, 2009 |
ANACORTES — While the recession has other businesses hunkering down, pulling back or going under, Central Welding Supply is expanding, and one of its two new stores opening this year will be in this city’s Highway 20 corridor. The recession has lowered the price of land and construction costs, giving Central Welding a chance to expand, as well as purchase other businesses, said Dale Wilton, company president and chief executive officer. “There are more opportunities being presented in the past six months because of the economy,” Wilton said.
The Anacortes location will be the company’s second store in Skagit County and put Central Welding closer to its manufacturing and industrial customers on Whidbey and Fidalgo islands. The new store will have seven employees and bring a yet-unknown amount of sales tax to the city.
Central Welding’s other new store is scheduled to open in Redmond on July 13. See full article. |
