An online athleisure retailer is moving its headquarters to Pasco County, where it plans to invest $15 million in a corporate office and fulfillment center.

NVGTN — pronounced Navigation — has purchased property in the Trinity Corporate Center where it plans to build a 100,000-square-foot facility, the Pasco County Economic Development Council said Monday. NVGTN is moving to Pasco County from Clearwater.

The company is helmed by fitness influencer Ashleigh Schneggenburger and her husband, Brett. It currently has 60 part-time employees; in the new facility, it wants to add 30 full-time roles, the EDC said.

In December, an entity linked to Brett Schneggenburger paid $2.5 million for just under 7 acres at 1990 Corporate Center Drive in New Port Richey.

“Our amazing customer base always has, and always will be, the top priority. This new facility will provide improved logistics, innovation and sustainability efforts that we’re excited to integrate,” Brett Schneggenburger, who is CEO of NVGTN, said in a statement. “The possibilities for expansion and growth seem endless in Pasco County. The community around our new location is very attractive to us, and we’re looking forward to becoming a part of it.”

NGTVN launches new clothing lines every two to three months, and a new release can mean an influx of 50,000 orders.

“Brett and Ashleigh have an ambitious entrepreneurial spirit. They have turned their small at-home startup into a very successful company in such a short time, and that is something we embrace and are thrilled to welcome to Pasco County,” Bill Cronin, president and CEO of the Pasco EDC, said in a statement. “I look forward to building our relationship with NVGTN and to continue to see them grow and flourish.”
