Fox26 News in Houston had a good piece today, “Local Honored For Diversity“, about a Sysco executive, Al Gaylor, being named the top executive in diversity by Black Enterprise Magazine.

This is a great story about Mr. Gaylor, but what caught my attention especial in regards to Cypress, TX was this piece at the end of the segment.

Sysco has a new facility in Cypress, Texas. There are 150 employees right now. Over the next 18 to 24 months, the company is looking to hire another 1,700 workers in departments from finance to accounting and call center jobs.

As I mentioned in a recent post, Sysco recently moved into the old Compaq building off of Hwy 290 and Skinner for their “Sysco Business Services” department.  I did not know their plans to hire another 1700 workers for this building.  This is great news for the Cypress economy.  This number is also mentioned on the Sysco Career Opportunities page on their website:

The Sysco Business Services (SBS) location will employ more than 1,800 people in Cypress, Texas. Careers include Accounting, Customer Support, HR and Supply Chain Services.
