BASCO Leaving City, Heading to Duncan
The Waurika paper reported that BASCO Leathergoods was leaving Waurika to relocate in Duncan.
The business that created leather goods for companies like Neiman Marcus was located on Main Street Downtown Waurika. Their proposed location in Duncan would be the building previously used by Haggar Slack Company.
According to Terrence Cooksey, chairman of the Duncan economic development group, the conversation about moving BASCO had been going on for 18 months.
The company employed around 90 people.
Evidently BASCO had outgrown their building and was looking for more space.
