The parent company of the Roses and Maxway retail chains plans to open a new distribution center in Coweta County in a move that will create 320 jobs.

Variety Wholesalers of Henderson, N.C., plans the new center along Herring Road near Newnan, according to a news release from Gov. Nathan Deal’s office. The facility will serve stores in the company’s growing footprint, including the Southeast and Midwest.

The company has 360 stores in 16 states under the Roses, Roses Express, Maxway, Super 10, Bargain Town, Bill’s Dollar Store and Super Dollar brands. The company said 48 stores are in Georgia.

“Georgia’s business climate and transportation infrastructure continue to attract major businesses such as Variety Wholesalers to the state,” Deal said in the release. “Variety Wholesalers’ decision to expand to Coweta County speaks to Georgia’s growing commercial infrastructure, demonstrates the significant investment opportunities offered by our ports and will further establish our state as an industrial magnet.”
