HHS, LLC To Relocate Corporate Headquarters To Dripping Springs

Hospital Support Service Provider to Create 86 Jobs in Greater San Marcos Region

The Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP), the economic development organization for the City of San Marcos, Hays County and Caldwell County, today announced that HHS, LLC, formerly known as Hospital Housekeeping Systems, will relocate its corporate headquarters from Austin, Texas to Dripping Springs, creating 86 corporate administrative jobs with an average annual salary of $60,000. The new 45,000 square-facility will be located at 12495 Silver Creek Road, Dripping Springs, TX.

“The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area provides a diverse array of options for companies to operate,” said Adriana Cruz, President of the Greater San Marcos Partnership. “Hays County provided HHS an option within the metro region to continue their rapid growth and support their future success.”

HHS is a privately owned company that started in 1975 (as Hospital Housekeeping Systems) serving a single hospital with a single service line. Today, they serve over 350 hospitals with multiple service offerings, including: Environmental Services, Culinary and Nutrition, Patient Flow, Facilities, Clinical and Biomedical Engineering, and Linen Utilization and Laundry Management. Company representatives credit its growth to being accomplished by identifying trends and strategic partnerships that generate new sources of revenue for the company and its clients, and by adding value to each customer it serves. In 2013, the company changed its name to HHS to represent the formalized gathering of our evolving service lines under one parent organization.

“We were looking for a long-term home for our headquarters, a space that could evolve and grow with our organization as we continue to expand.  We chose to move out of downtown Austin and settle in Dripping Springs for this reason as well as to help our team members access more affordable living opportunities close to their work place,” says HHS, LLC CEO Joe Terry.

GSMP staff worked with the company’s representatives to provide information and make connections for the Hays County incentive process as well as provide information on the current workforce and industry trends in Dripping Springs.

On December 16, 2014, the Hays County Commissioners approved an Economic Development Incentive Agreement with HHS, LLC, and its affiliated entities, providing incentives in the form of 75% rebate of Hays County property taxes for ten years with an initial investment of $9 million.

“GSMP applauds Hays County for their decision to enter an agreement with HHS, making our region more competitive for this corporate headquarter relocation and creating jobs while increasing investment in the area,” Cruz added.

Including HHS, LLC, since the formation of GSMP in October 2010, the Partnership staff has worked 241 projects or requests for information (RFI) resulting in 23 announcements, 1,358 jobs announced and more than $29 million in capital investment. Thirteen of these announcements were located in the city of San Marcos announcing 603 jobs and over $20 million of capital investment.
