One of Peachtree

City's companies is pulling up stakes and heading to Cobb County.

Goody Products,

one of the world's largest hair implement manufactures, is closing its

office in Westpark Friday and moving to the Cobb Galleria.

"The only

reason we're leaving the county is space," said company president

Howard Heckes.

Goody has been

in Peachtree City since 1995 and employs 70 people. The company had outgrown

its present facility and has been leasing space across the street.

"We'll

have all our people in one place and be able to display our products,"

Heckes said.

The company's

new building has 36,000 square feet, compared to the 21,000 in Peachtree

City.

Heckes said

the company looked all over Fayette County and could not find a suitable

building.

"We went

on a pretty exhaustive search, and even considered downtown Atlanta, but

this was the best fit," he said.

Heckes said

all the company's employees are moving to the Cobb location, and he expects

the new facility to be operational Monday.
