Congratulations to hand2mind on the groundbreaking of its new distribution center in the Village of Vernon Hills! The nearly 700,000-square-foot facility represents a significant investment in Lake County and will bring hand2mind’s operations together under one purpose-built facility. Even more importantly, the project will create 37 new full-time Illinois jobs while retaining 288 existing positions—a strong testament to hand2mind’s long-term commitment to our community.
For 25+ years, hand2mind has called Vernon Hills home, helping children learn through hands-on educational products and innovative curriculum. We’re thrilled to see the company continue to grow right here in Lake County, and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting this investment alongside our partners.
