expects to hire an additional 20 employees due to the ex- pansion. Discount Dance Supply was formed in 1973 as Hill’s Ca- pezio Dance Shop to serve all the dancewear needs of Or- ange County, California. Ted and Linda Hill purchased a small store in Orange’s Town and Country shopping center, and their store prospered over the years to become one of the largest Capezio dealers in California. In 1992, after opening additional stores in Southern California, the com- pany opened its mail order division to provide dancewear nationwide under the name Discount Dance Supply. Mericle vice president Jim Hilsher coordinated the proj- ect. He said the Discount Dance Supply project is the latest example of the growth of E-Commerce fulfillment in NE PA. He said 20 of the top E-commerce companies have fulfillment centers in the region including Neiman Mar- cus, J.P. Boden, Amazon.com, American Eagle Outfitters, CVS Caremark, BabyAge.com, and Webgistix/Rakuten. “With the evolution of on- line retailing and the push for ever-shorter delivery windows, E-commerce companies are seeking areas where they can establish strategically located and cost-efficient fulfillment operations,“ Hilsher said. “NE PA fits that bill.” Hilsher said the region’s combination of immediate interstate access, close prox- imity to the east coast’s con- sumption zones, availability of overnight delivery companies, affordable business costs, a great workforce, and an ample supply of industrial space and sites, are combining to draw E-commerce companies. n
