A grand opening is set Thursday for three related companies moving to Henderson from Ontario, Calif.
Lake Industries, Black Card Radio and JLS Financial, all owned by Saville Kellner, are to bring a total of 10 jobs to Henderson. The companies are investing about $1 million in the move.
Lake Industries is a wholesale distributor of houseware products, while Black Card Radio is a radio syndication company and JLS Financial offers consumer finance services.
The companies are moving to 7735 Commercial Way, near Warm Springs Road and Interstate 515.
While the number of jobs the companies are bringing is relatively small, the fact they are moving to Southern Nevada during the worst recession in memory has prompted officials to bring in dignitaries to welcome the companies.
Expected to attend Thursday's ceremony are Gov. Brian Sandoval, Sen. Dean Heller, city of Henderson officials and Nevada Development Authority CEO Somer Hollingsworth.
"Lake Industries, along with our sister companies, Black Card Radio and JLS Financial, chose Henderson as our new home base initially for the lower tax rates, the business-friendly environment and incredible commercial real estate values,” Kellner said in a statement. "One of the most interesting advantages of doing business in Southern Nevada is that our clients and potential clients are more willing to come see us. We have begged prospects for years to visit us in Southern California without a ton of success, and now that we are located in Southern Nevada they are rushing to visit us."
