Frisco, Texas — January 31, 2023 —As Wiley X celebrates its 35th Anniversary, the company opened the doors to its expansive, state-of-the-art new headquarters in Frisco, located just north of Dallas, Texas.
The 65,000-square-foot facility has everything the family-owned, premium protective eyewear brand needs to run its expanding global business: from a large production, assembly, and warehouse space to a sophisticated and expanded testing facility for safety certifications, as well as all the necessary administrative and office space. The building also features the first-ever Wiley X flagship retail store, which will open in 2024 for local customers, resellers across the US and Wiley X fans from around the world to enjoy.
“We are beyond thrilled to open the doors to our new headquarters,” exclaimed Myles Freeman, co-owner of Wiley X. “The City of Frisco and the Frisco Economic Development Corporation have been so welcoming to us.” From ground breaking to ribbon cutting, both the city leadership of Frisco and the Frisco EDC have been working in lockstep with Wiley X on ensuring a smooth and welcoming transition. “What a great way to celebrate 35 years in business,” added Dan Freeman, co-owner of Wiley X. “We are excited to get to work in Texas and thankful for all the support we’ve received here.”
Frisco is an ideal location for Wiley X for many reasons. Frisco, and all of Texas, is home to a large population of military veterans; Wiley X is veteran-founded and has been providing premium protective eyewear to the United States military since being founded in 1987. Wiley X also has a long history of providing eye protection for outdoorsmen and women who hunt, fish, and shoot, as well as the government/first responder network, all of which align with Texan pastimes and values. Frisco also provides Wiley X with a great business climate with a large talent pool, and the centralized location within the United States provides distribution and shipping efficiencies.
