“Since our humble beginnings as a hardware store in downtown Marysville, we have grown to become the world’s leading supplier of consumer products for do-it-yourself lawn and garden care. Our associates-the people of Union County-have fueled this growth. Union County citizens demonstrate the same attributes that make Scotts great-honesty, integrity, loyalty and dedication to hard work. These qualities make Union County a great place to do business.”
Jim Hagedorn, Chairman and CEO, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
“Union County is the perfect location for us. We have easy access to big-city transportation, but we’re just far enough away to enjoy plenty of wide-open spaces, perfect for building exactly what we need as we grow. Plus, Union County’s sales tax is lower than most areas of Columbus, a perk our customers really appreciate. The people here take a lot of pride in their community, and with neighbors like Honda and Scotts, we think we’re in pretty good company.”
Charlie Trudeau, CEO, The Phoenix Bat Company
“When the Henderson House went on the market a few years ago, we wanted to be part of its history. The house sort of represents the personality of Union County-up-to-date and thriving, but with a rich history that’s been well preserved. We like doing business here for the same reasons we live here: the environment is relaxed and friendly, and it’s completely genuine. Actually, the atmosphere in our restaurant is probably a lot like it was 100 years ago-just with a much better kitchen.”
Bob Meeder, Owner, Doc Henderson’s Restaurant
“Union County offers the perfect mix of amenities and convenience. Our employees travel frequently, and close proximity to airports makes this a convenient corridor to the Nestle’ global community. Locally, our employees appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere and easy access to excellent shopping, sports and recreating facilities, educational institutions and quality health care. This is one of our largest R & D Centers in the world, and the community has been very supportive of our growth.”
Kenneth Boehm, Former President, Nestle Product Technology Center
