Children’s apparel giant Carter’s Inc. is shutting down its Shelton office and moving the jobs to Atlanta where it is based, with plans to complete the move by the end of next year.
Carter’s expects the relocation to cost between $35 million and $40 million, including severance and recruiting new workers in Georgia where it expects to add 200 jobs in retail merchandising, store operations, finance, and information technology. Carter’s current Atlanta workforce numbers 1,200 people.
“We believe that bringing our employees together in one location will improve the interaction and collaboration of our talented workforce,” said CEO Michael Casey, in a prepared statement.
Carter’s Shelton office is at 1 Waterview Drive.
