Drinks are on Lawton.
Fisher59 , a beverage distributor based in Denton, Texas, is expanding its operations in Lawton with a new $16 million, 110,000-square-foot warehouse in Lawton Economic Development Corp.’s Airport Industrial Park.
The expansion will accommodate a recently acquired product line and support continued growth, said Brad Cooksey, president and CEO of the economic developer.
“We’re excited about the new jobs coming to the area and that their investment will further contribute to Lawton’s economy,” he said.
The warehouse will support Fisher59’s existing workforce of 60 employees in Lawton and over time add some 40 more jobs, he said.
