Strategically
Situated
at the crossroads of Tampa's dynamic eastward expansion and
Lakeland's fast paced southern growth, is the town of Mulberry,
Florida.
Mulberry is the sort of
friendly small town where everyone knows
your name, someone always remembers your
birthday and, and as yet no one has to pay
the inflated prices of Florida's inner-city
real estate to start or relocate a business.
And what a place to do business… Mulberry is
right in the heart of one of the fastest
growing areas of the country. A scant 30
miles to the west on State Road 60 is Tampa,
a city which boasts one of the finest airports
in the country; major league football; performing
arts center; symphony; the largest museum
of science and industry south of Chicago
and west of Washington,D.C.; two universities;
the seventh largest port in the nation, and
a phenomenal projected growth rate, to name
just a few of its assets.
Bordering Mulberry to
the north on State Road 37 is Lakeland, with the world's
largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture
at Florida Southern College; the winter playing fields
of the Detroit Tigers; the headquarters of Publix, Florida's
largest supermarket chain, and the Watson Clinic, one
of the best multi-specialty medical facilities in the
nation. |

And, within an easy drive for the day's outing,
are the beaches and the attractions-Walt Disney World, Bok
Tower, Cypress Gardens, Busch Gardens, Sea World, the Florida
Aquarium, and Silver Springs.
Industry is no stranger here and
we welcome more. Phosphate mining and processing
is the state's third largest industry, and
Mulberry is the official Phosphate Capital
of the World. The mines around Mulberry supply
80% of the nations and a third of the world's
demand for the essential fertilizer ingredient.
Mosaic is the largest phosphate producer
in the world. Master Containers, Inc., the
largest foam cup and container plant headquartered
in Florida, is another corporation that proudly
calls Mulberry home.
Mulberry is
also the home town of the giant Badcock Home Furniture & more;
headquarters for 356 stores located throughout the South.
The Company's, W. Frank Lunsford Distribution Center,
is located at 201 Kid Ellis Road, Mulberry, Florida 33860.
