BIGNAME COMMERCE TO LAUNCH OPERATIONS IN FORMER CARRIER BUILDING IN DEWITT
DeWITT, N.Y. — Empire State Development (ESD) on Thursday announced that BIGNAME Commerce, LLC will move its printing and ecommerce business from Long Island to a former Carrier building in DeWitt.
The firm currently operates in Amityville in Suffolk County on Long Island.
The total project cost has been placed at a little more than $1.4 million, ESD said in a Thursday news release.
Founded as Action Envelope, BIGNAME Commerce is a collection of e-commerce businesses specializing in customized products for organizations and consumers worldwide. Those products include envelopes, bags, and folders of all types. The internet retail businesses include Envelopes.com, Folders.com and Bags.com.
The company plans to occupy 100,000 square feet of leased space in a building located at 6304 Carrier Parkway where it will operate a new fulfillment-distribution center.
The project is expected to create up to 24 new full-time jobs in DeWitt. The firm will also retain 107 existing jobs.
BIGNAME Commerce plans to hire those who are currently unemployed or underemployed in the region, “supporting regional anti-poverty efforts,” ESD said. Tackling poverty in the region is a “primary focus” of the regionally designed CNY Rising economic-development plan.
The company had considered moving its operations to Pennsylvania or Florida but elected to move to Central New York “thanks to support from New York State.”
ESD is supporting the expansion of BIGNAME Commerce in the region with up to $425,000 through the Excelsior tax-credit program in exchange for job-creation commitments.
Renovation work on the former Carrier building is underway. The company expects to be operating out of the new warehouse/fulfillment center by the end of the year.
“We are thrilled to expand our operations to East Syracuse and join the Central New York community. BIGNAME Commerce is a growing company and we look forward to expanding our operations and our team in this great area,” Seth Newman, CEO of BIGNAME Commerce, said.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The first unique in-home pet grooming service in the metro-Syracuse area has arrived in the form of Sherlock Bones Mobile Grooming.
Courtesy of 11-year pet-stylist, Laura Hearn, who is no stranger to the heart of New York, Hearn moved back to Syracuse after living in Texas for 25 years.
“I know with all of my heart that I was put on this Earth to help dogs and their humans and I love getting up each day knowing I get to spend time with amazing animals and make them beautiful,†said Hearn. “Sherlock Bones Mobile Grooming is all about making things convenient and comfortable for our customers: the pets and their people.â€
When they say house-call, they sure do mean it as Sherlock Bones will bring everything but the kitchen sink to you. Just provide a place to bathe your furry friend and a 6x6 area for the grooming set up, and Hearn will handle the rest.
"My bread and butter clients are those nervous dogs and/or nervous owners who don't really want to get out of the house, whether that's due to an ailment such as the pet has a health problem or anxiety, or there's two feet of snow on the ground and you can't get your car out of the driveway! I pride myself in saying that I'm the Instacart of dog grooming where I bring grooming services right to you! I may not be the cheapest groomer in town, but you get what you pay for!"
Found out today that this is based in Syracuse: SIDEARM Sports It is actually located at Hinds Hall on the SU campus and what is odd is that I’ve passed its offices many times.

CICERO, N.Y. — Empire Merchants North LLC, a wine and spirits distributor, on Friday formally opened its new 45,000-square-foot headquarters for sales and training at 7350 Round Pond Road in the town of Cicero.
