“For 20 years, Loloi has brought thoughtful design and centuries-old craftsmanship together to create distinctive rugs, pillows and home décor enjoyed across the country,”  the Greater Ennis Chamber of Commerce posted on social media.

“We are proud that this family-owned company has chosen to grow its story right here in Ennis.”

The one-million-square-feet distribution facility spans 23 acres.

A statements from the Governor’s office stated $20- million in capital investment was part of the multi-phase distribution headquarters development.

“Texas is where the crossroads of hard work and opportunity lead to success,” Abbott said.

“This $20 million investment by Loloi in Ennis just south of Dallas will create hundreds of good-paying jobs for hardworking Texans.”
