(619)440-4444 LAIRD: Business poised for major growth spurt in Sisters Continued from page 1 from private investors who will hold a minority share of the company. Paul Hodge, Laird CEO, said it happened very quickly. These kinds of things generally take at least a couple of months and this deal was concluded in a cou- ple of weeks. The company is named after Laird Hamilton, a world-famous surfer, who was looking for a more nutri- tional creamer for his coffee and created his own recipe at home. From there the com- pany has grown to include a number of other nutritious products, all of which are made from natural ingredients with no preservatives. The announcement of the investment was origi- nally set to be made in early January 2019, but a reporter for The Bulletin discovered their Form D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and called Laird Superfood for comment. They decided to comment due to the fact there were errors in the filing and they wanted to correct those. The names of the pri- vate investors still have not been revealed and will be announced the first week in January. What this expansion means for Sisters is significant in a number of ways. Hodge told The Nugget that over the next five years they plan to have 500 employees working in Sisters. They have plans to build a 30,000-square- foot warehouse on the cor- ner of North Pine Street and Lundgren Mill Drive, next to their two new production and office buildings. They have an option to purchase all the property from Lundgren Mill south to the stop sign at Barclay. The company plans to hire local people first, but for that many employees and a num- ber of jobs requiring special skill sets, it will also be nec- essary to bring people in from outside. Of their current 70 employees, Hodge estimates about two-thirds of them come from Bend, Redmond, and Sisters and one-third were brought in. If the new employees follow the current trend, those under 40 will opt to live in Bend for the social scene and those who are older and with families will choose to live in Sisters. Laird will be hiring to fill positions in administration, finance, sales, digital market- ing, social media advertising, package design, IT, com- puter support, purchasing, manufacturing, shipping, and PHOTO PROVIDED The City presented a check for $51,000 to Laird Superfood in June 2017 to assist with their locating in Sisters. In a year and a half’s time, they are projecting to have 500 employees working in Sisters by 2023. logistics. As they roll out their products to the national mar- kets, they will require a large number of account managers who will handle their whole- sale accounts. All of the product will be shipped out of Sisters by truck. Hodge admitted it could have been easier if they had located somewhere else but said, “The type of people we want to hire are attracted here.” Laird wants to do good things for the local commu- nity and allow younger peo- ple the opportunity to live and work in Sisters. Hodge said that after sell- ing his business in the East, he and his wife had the oppor- tunity to choose anywhere to live. They chose Sisters as the place to raise their family. They enjoy the recreational activities, Central Oregon in general, and the community of Sisters. Hodge indicated an inter- est in talking with the school district about establishing a food management program at the high school so stu- dents would be able to come to work at Laird upon gradu- ation. They could also con- sider an intern program with students gaining workplace experience. “In supporting them (with training), they can support us (with trained employees),” Hodge said. The response from the public sector in Sisters has been overwhelmingly supportive. “Sisters is blessed to have Laird Superfood headquar- tered in Sisters,” said Mayor Chuck Ryan. “It is such a great fit given its low impact environmentally. Their recent growth announcements will be a tremendous positive impact economically to the City and surrounding areas and goes a long way in help- ing accomplish one of our main visioning goals, which is creating a vibrant and diverse local economy.” The mayor went on to say, “With that said, there will be some challenges that need to be addressed with that type of growth, including provid- ing local affordable housing options for their workforce. We want to have these work- ers live and raise families in Sisters Country, which will have huge positive effects on the economy and the school system.” He concluded, “We will also want to engage further with workforce develop- ment programs by partnering with the school district, local businesses, and workforce See LAIRD on page 30 — Serving all of Central Oregon — Sandy Goodsell Principal Broker Jonathan Hicks Broker ABR, CDPE, CIAS, GRI, SRES 541-480-0183 865-335-6104 LICENSED BROKERS IN THE STATE OF OREGON goodsellandhickssellcentralor.com With gratitude & joy, we wish you a Merry Christmas & Prosperous New Year!
