”We are very excited about this new location.” says Amanda Lindoerfer, Grosh’s Vice President of Marketing. “Since some of our product can be large and heavy, this new facility will allow us to ship primarily via ground instead of by air. Because of this new location, our clients in the East and Midwest could save up to 50% on shipping costs.” “We will provide quality backdrop and drapery rentals and the most competitive pricing in the industry.” Lindoerfer added.

The company worked with Jim Holderread with Vision-e, Evansville Regional Economic Development Corp., who helped in finding the location of the new warehouse and familiarizing the company with the Evansville area. “This new location is going to be good for the local area as well as Grosh’s customer base.” explains Holderread.
