“Brittle-Brittle is a family-owned and -operated candy and snack manufacturer. We recently decided on an expansion and were drawn to DeSoto primarily by the logistics. The location was a no-brainer. Once we met with the DeSoto Economic Development Corporation, it was clear they wanted our business as much as we wanted to be here. The City went above and beyond and helped facilitate our move here. We could not be happier with the City of DeSoto and our decision to become part of this business community.”
Jim Brown, Co-Owner, Brittle-Brittle
“DW Distribution is a 3rd-generation, family-owned business, with 6 decades of experience. We distribute residential building products throughout Texas and surrounding states. We came to DeSoto in 1999 based on its affordability, a valuable incentive package, its access to major highways and roads, as well as a plentiful workforce. It has been a great decision for our company. DW Distribution would recommend DeSoto to anyone looking to capitalize on those same benefits. The DeSoto Economic Development Corporation has been outstanding to work with. We have not only made facility investments, but we will be looking to make ongoing investments in the future.”
