The owner of WineRackStore.com, an Olympia business that sells pre-made and custom-built wine racks, is looking to hire veterans as the business ramps up for the holidays.

“The custom business is booming, and being so near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, I feel that we have a unique pool of workers to hire from,” owner Mike Kitson said. “We have always been a huge supporter of the armed forces, and now we have the opportunity to further that support within our own community.”

Kitson plans to increase his shop staff in the coming weeks.

WineRackStore.com has been selling pre-made and custom-built wine racks, cellars and wine accessories since 1995. For more information about WineRackStore.com, call the business at 360-986-0686.
