BIOLYTE, the company that makes a drink of the same name and which it says is “the first recovery drink to contain the same amount of electrolytes as an IV bag,” announced Tuesday that it will relocate to a new warehouse in Marietta.
“Never in a million years did I think that we could have everyone under one roof, but our new warehouse in Marietta made that possible,” said Jesslyn Rollins, CEO of BIOLYTE, in a Cobb Chamber of Commerce announcement. “Our team is thrilled and that lets me know this is going to be huge for our culture and growth trajectory.”
The company announced it will invest $60,000 in the new facility while adding 13 new jobs to its existing 25-person workforce.
According to the company’s website, Dr. Luther Rollins, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Atlanta, began to work on developing a product that would make IV hydration therapy more widely accessible after his wife Jeannine was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.
BIOLYTE’s website states that the drink “has the same amount of electrolytes as a 500ml Lactated Ringer (IV bag).”
BIOLYTE was previously based in Atlanta and Canton, and this is the company’s first investment in Cobb County, per the release.
