Its new operations hub will feature an 8,000-square-foot office space and state of the art lab. The company plans to hire 100 employees including; pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and technology staff.

"We are excited to be opening a new corporate headquarters in Lake Worth. This is an opportunity for us to tackle on-going growth efforts and open new opportunities by providing the space for state of the art infrastructure and a team-oriented operating environment," said Santo Leo, Chief Operating Officer of Glades Drugs.
