ShiftPixy Announces Texas Expansion

IRVINE, Calif., March 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ:PIXY), a disruptive workforce engagement platform provider, today announced the opening of its Austin, Texas, location.  In keeping with the Company’s growth plan and fast-growing client demand, ShiftPixy has decided to base its Texas market launch in Austin.  “We think Austin is a perfect place for ShiftPixy to launch into Texas. The technical innovation ShiftPixy brings to the part-time labor driven industries like restaurant and retail operators has enjoyed a warm Texas welcome,” stated ShiftPixy’s CEO Scott Absher.  Absher continued his comments, stating that “the thriving Austin tech community also allows us to build our technical bench, not just our national footprint.  We are excited to put down our Texas roots in Austin.”

Restaurant and retail operators are experiencing historically high part-time labor turnover due to competition from new gig platforms that have drawn away part-time workers by offering greater connection to income opportunity with greater ease. The ShiftPixy cutting edge platform allows its restaurant and retail clients to compete against the gig platforms and cure the high cost of high turnover.
