In conjunction with the Economic Development Coalition for Asheville-Buncombe County, Life’s Abundance recently announced plans to locate new corporate offices in Asheville. The health and wellness company has acquired 141 Asheland Ave. with plans to invest more than $2.85 million in real property, renovations and improvements.

Located in the South Slope District of downtown Asheville, the office will support as many as 13 employees, with future expansion through new construction that will support up to 50 people in coming years.

Founded in 1998, Life’s Abundance strives to empower the whole family, including pets, to live happier, healthier lives. Product lines include premium pet food and supplements as well as clean health and beauty products for the consumer.

The company currently operates across nine locations in North America which include manufacturing, distribution and corporate offices with $60 million in sales in 2021.

“We’re really happy to be in Asheville and are excited to grow here long term. The culture of the area is so welcoming and aligns with our purpose and core values,“ President and CEO Lester Thornhill said.  “Another appeal for us was a shared drive toward sustainability, and we look forward to plugging into a community that is committed to it as well.”
