BUYSEASONS Set to Expand

New Berlin, WI - BUYSEASONS, Inc. announced today that it will expand its headquarters and distribution center operations in New Berlin. BUYSEASONS and its partner, WillowTree Properties, LLC, have been working for months to obtain governmental approval, arrange financing, and solidify the specifics of the expansion. Construction on the expansion is set to begin this week, and the project is expected to be completed by July 2011.

"This is another big milestone for BUYSEASONS,” said Jalem Getz, BUYSEASONS’ CEO and president. “Our continued growth reflects our associates’ hardwork and dedication. Without our outstanding employees, we wouldn’t have been able to progress from a small start-up to one of the largest online-only retailers of costumes and party supplies in just 11 years."

The approximately 110,000 square foot expansion will be located on an adjacent lot to the north of BUYSEASONS’ current facility. The addition will allow BUYSEASONS to continue the rapid expansion of its party supply business under the Celebrate Express family of brands and enhance its industry leading ecommerce costume business. With the expansion and continued growth, BUYSEASONS expects to add between 20 and 30 full-time positions across all functions of the business, including distribution and manufacturing.

"This expansion will be key in the growth of our party supply business,” Getz said. “It will allow us to manufacuter more of our party supplies on-site and will give us the ability to expand our customized party supply offerings."
