Lading Junior and Young Mens speciality retailer rue21 is on the move.
rue21 will be celebrating a new 35,000 square-foot national headquarters in Warrendale, Pennsylvania with a Grand Opening cocktail party.
250 guests will be attending including rue21's major suppliers, vendors and business associates.
Highlights of the new building include a full-scale simulated rue21 store, the latest video and sound technology as well as a new state-of-the-art data center.
The building was designed by Lami Grubb Architects in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Bob Fisch, President and CEO, states that "due to strong company sales and profit growth, they have nearly tripled the size of their headquarters to allow for continued major store expansion.
Their rapid growth gives them more job and career opportunities as they build for the future, preparing to double their corporate associate team."
rue21 has grown to 250 stores in 40 states with plans to open 50-60 stores this year.
The stores are located in community strip centers, regional malls and outlet centers.
