"We're proud to welcome Jet.com to our growing list of businesses that are calling the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center and northern Nevada home."

"It is exciting to see an up and coming e-commerce company choose our region for their growth in the west," said Mike Kazmierski CEO of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada .
