David Fraser heads Sunrise, USA, a company that manufacturers and imports pillows, dog beds, plush fleece sheets, baby blankets and other associated products. The company sells through their websites and e-commerce venues. Presently located in Fletcher, North Carolina, Sunrise is now moving to Ellenboro. It has already began manufacturing products in it’s new Ellenboro location.
The story of Sunrise coming to Ellenboro is amazing. When David discovered Rutherford County and then Ellenboro, good things began to happen. He said he was delighted and even surprised what he had found. “The people are my greatest and biggest surprise. People are the cornerstone of any successful business. What I found here is just great. The good attitudes and talents are way above average. The people here and quality of life I’ve found are just super. I can’t get over it all. It’s like discovering gold.”
Soon Fraser will be moving the entire operation to Ellenboro. The company has already purchased and is presently renovating their new facility at 171 Race Path Church Road beside the railroad tracks in Ellenboro. They purchased the former United Southern Building which has stood empty for 10 years.
It’s already in operation. Mr. Fraser said that there are plans for expansion and “I intend for us to become an integral part of the community. I also want to be very supportive of this great area. Ellenboro has been a nice discovery for me.”
David is so taken with this community that he recently bought a 45 acre farm here and will make Ellenboro both his personal and business location.
In addition, Sunrise, USA has started off with eight full time and one part time employees. It will continue to hire in the near future and should have at least 20 or more employees. The company ships throughout the United States and parts of the world. It is seeking to expand its world market. “Our growth potential is unlimited and with the great attitudes and talents I’ve found here, I’m confident we will meet our goals.”
Another plus about Sunrise, USA is that they start every employee off with much higher than minimum wage. The company also offers all benefits and is very unusual in that it pays for two ten minute breaks as well as a lunch hour.
Perhaps with the addition of Sunrise, USA to Ellenboro in Rutherford County, other companies will follow suit and discover what David has found, good people, great talent, and an above average place to do business.
