In a partnership with the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce, the Pottawatomie County Economic Development Corporation, announced the successful retnention and expansion of Vets First Choice in Manhattan, KS.

Vets First Choice, a national leader in vterinary prescription management and online pharmacy services, is relocating its office from Wamego to Manhattan to allow for rapid growth that requires additional space and workforce. The company currently serves more than 12,000 veterinarians. 

Chief Operating Officer Jerry King says he is pleased Vets First Choice was able to stay in the Wamego-Manhattan region “where we can retain our current outstanding staff and grow with the exceptional talent coming out of Kansas State University and Fort Riley.”

The new office will occupy the former Marinello School of Beauty location in downtown Manhattan at 512 Poyntz Avenue.

Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce President Lyle Butler applauded the effort saying, “this is regionalism at its best – when the partners have the full faith and confidence in each other to work on a project where everybody benefits, including existing employees who will be retained.”
