The company will receive a $75,000 economic development grant from the Texas city while creating 30 new, full-time jobs with an average salary of $100,000, the Business Times reported.

Founded in 1946, William H. Kelly and William E. Moore grew the company into a national chain of stores. Several major Bay Area companies have decamped to Texas in the past few years. Elon Musk announced in Oct. 2021 that Tesla’s headquarters would move from Palo Alto to Austin, while tech giants Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise moved headquarters to the lone star state in 2020.Top Picks In Shopping
