Hey Dude! New Las Vegas Crocs Distribution Center Is Hiring

Crocs are perhaps the most comfortable shoe in the world. And some say, the ugliest.

The company also makes Hey Dude shoes, of which I own a few pairs. And I love them! They are equally as comfortable, but a bit more appealing to the eye. Hey Dude is heading to Las Vegas, in the way of a huge distribution center.

Crocs Comes to Las Vegas To Get Comfortable

You can dress them up, you can dress them down. You can add jibbitz (the charms that fit into the holes of Crocs), to personalize your funky rubber shoes. And when you order them now, you might just get them from Las Vegas.

Crocs Inc. will now start shipping its Hey Dude lines of shoes from a new distribution center in North Las Vegas. A big one. About a million square feet of space.

The company announced plans in 2022, according the the Las Vegas Review Journal, to open a facility at Apex Industrial Park. It will be the main shipping facility for the Hey Dude brand of shoes, and other Crocs products, in the not too distant future.

Looking For A New Job? Crocs Might Be A Perfect Fit

That's right, they are hiring! Crocs, the ugliest (your opinion), but most comfortable shoes (my opinion), might be looking for you! Here's their website, if you are looking for a new career.

The Las Vegas Review Journal writes that Crocs expects to put 325 full-time employees to work. Averages salary will be around $27 per hour. But it looks like Crocs is already outdoing its original employment forecast. About 400 employees are working there now. And it looks like that could go up even more, very fast.

In the Crocs Inc. application filed for tax abatement, the company said it would invest $85 million in the new North Las Vegas facility.

The new Crocs facility is hoping to celebrate their grand opening by the end of March.

Cheers to Crocs. May yours last forever. And they basically do!
