Announces Pending Purchase of Third Manufacturing Facility In Mayodan, North Carolina<\/p>\n<p>July 08, 2013<\/p>\n<p>Sturm, Ruger &amp; Co., Inc. (NYSE: RGR) announced today that it plans to open its third manufacturing plant, a 220,000 square foot facility in Mayodan, North Carolina. This will be the Company&#8217;s first major expansion in over 25 years and it is expected to be finalized in August.<\/p>\n<p>The Company currently employs over 2,000 people in its two plants in Newport, New Hampshire and Prescott, Arizona.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2013\/06\/ruger-is-industry-leading-firearms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;In mid-June<\/a>, Ruger officials said they expected to make an announcement by August. They must have really liked what they saw in Mayodan and the Piedmont Triad. <\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE:<\/b> While it hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, I believe the building that Ruger will use for its NC manufacturing plants is the old Unifi 15 plant. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/accessnc.commerce.state.nc.us\/NCDOC\/Search\/PropertyViewHTML.do?site_id=8776&amp;site=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NC Department of Commerce website listing available industrial sites<\/a>, the building was built in 1989 and has a total of 221,600 usable square feet of space. It is located at the intersection of Cardwell Road and, I kid you not, Cupcake Trail in Mayodan. Looking at the location from Google maps, it appears to have plenty of room for expansion.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ptp-101934_8435.gif.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"222\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/ptp-101934_8435.gif.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><b>UPDATE II:<\/b> According to WGHP Fox 8 in High Point, the plant shown above is the building that Ruger will be buying for their 3rd manufacturing plant. Gov. Pat McCrory (R-NC) is scheduled to make a major announcement today about an economic development <strike>and I anticipate it will be this plant<\/strike>. I&#8217;ll have more on that as it becomes available. (It was regarding a GE Aviation expansion &#8211; not Ruger).<\/p>\n<p>As the report below makes clear, this is big news for the Piedmont Triad and especially for Mayodan and Rockingham County. They have an unemployment rate of greater than 10% so quality new jobs will be greatly welcomed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Move over Texas and South Carolina, Ruger has decided that their third plant will be in NORTH Carolina.
