A leading national mattress retailer will establish a new distribution center in Lexington County, creating 108 new jobs.

Mattress Warehouse's first distribution center in South Carolina will be located in the 803 Industrial Park in West Columbia, according to a news release. The new facility will support existing and future retail locations in the region.

"Mattress Warehouse is very excited to be part of Lexington County as we continue to grow into South Carolina," said Bill Papettas, the company's president and CEO. "This is an important part of our growth strategy, and we look forward to serving the communities in South Carolina through the addition of employment opportunities as well as improving the lives of our customers through quality sleep."

The company opened its first store in Frederick, Md. In 1989 and since has expanded to 250 locations nationwide. In South Carolina, Mattress Factory has locations in Greenville and Indian Land, with a new location planned for Sumter.

"We proudly welcome Mattress Warehouse to 803 Industrial Park, strategically located within our thriving community," said Lexington County Council Chairwoman Beth Carrigg. "The jobs created as a part of this project will be a welcomed addition to our diversified inventory."
