Thrive Market opens Luzerne County fulfillment center

Thrive Market, the world’s first membership-based market e-commerce platform, recently opened a fulfillment center in Hanover Township, Luzerne County, in partnership with NorthPoint Development.

The 458,000-square-foot facility is the company’s third. It will allow the company to increase one-day carbon neutral shipping coverage within the continental United States, especially within the Northeast.

The company plans to hire approximately 200 local workers before 2022.

“Northpoint continues its brilliant success record by bringing to us Thrive Market, an innovative and environmentally conscientious company that will add to the growing portfolio of national companies calling Luzerne County home,” state Sen. John Yudichak (I-Luzerne/Carbon) said. “Thrive Market’s commitment to a sustainable environment fits perfectly with the mission of the Earth Conservancy, who has long championed environmental stewardship, and who has set the stage for Thrive Market’s new location by assisting the communities of the South Valley to reclaim and breathe new life into thousands of acres mine scarred land.”

Thrive Market offers customers organic and non-GMO products. For every paid membership, it will offer a free membership to someone. It has raised more than $4.5 million to fund food access and environmental sustainability causes over the last five years.

The company also has fulfillment centers in Nevada and Indiana.
