Scentsy Inc., an Meridian-based party plan company, has announced plans to open a new distribution center in Lexington that will create 70 to 100 new jobs by the end of 2009.
Scentsy specializes in scented, wickless candles that are heated in decorative ceramic warmers. The company has more than 35,000 independent consultants who sell its products.
Scentsy is owned by Orville and Heidi Thompson of Meridian. Orville Thompson said he and his wife fell $700,000 in debt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks hurt their previous business, but they worked long days for years to get back on their feet with the candle company.
