Fingerhut Direct Adds Call Center

To handle what it hopes will be a fourth-quarter sales rush, and to support future growth, Minneapolis-based Fingerhut Direct announced on Aug. 28 that it is opening a 100-plus seat call center in Eveleth, MN. The general merchant, which restarted its catalog in last November after not mailing it for a year, also operates a call center and distibution facility in St. Cloud, MN.
