S.C. Governor Nikki Haley spent the morning in Chester County for the groundbreaking of a 3.1-million dollar expansion of a specialty foods distribution company.

Haddon House opened its doors in Richburg in 1989 and will soon expand its distribution center and hire 100 new employees.

Haddon had once considered moving to Florida but Chief Executive Officer Dave Anderson, Sr., said Chester County and the state made the decision to stay very easy.

Haley said Haddon’s decision to stay is another big win for the Palmetto State.
