# Redlands — Principal Employers (with headcounts)

Source: **City of Redlands ACFR, FY ended June 30, 2025, Schedule 16 "Principal Employers"** (Source: MuniServices LLC). Headcount data is NOT available per-business in the license roster — this published schedule is the authoritative source for employer size, and it covers only the largest employers.

## "Donut hole" employers (unincorporated county pocket surrounded by Redlands — Citrus Plaza / Mountain Grove / industrial-logistics area)

The City lists these separately because they sit in a county island fully encircled by the city. They are major area employers but technically outside city limits.

| Employer | Employees | % |
|----------|----------:|--:|
| Burlington Coat Factory Distribution Center | 742 | 2.01% |
| Amazon Fulfillment Center | 500 | 1.35% |
| Target Department Store | 245 | 0.66% |
| Lamps Plus DC & Store | 119 | 0.32% |
| Kohl's Retail Store | 87 | 0.24% |
| **Total** | **1,693** | **4.58%** |

## For comparison — these employers nine years prior (FY2016)

ESRI 2,795 · Optum 1,500 · Redlands Community Hospital 1,535 · Amazon 1,300 · Redlands Unified 1,922 · The Home Depot 700 · City of Redlands 556 · University of Redlands 550 · La-Z-Boy 385 · Loma Linda Behavioral 360. (Total of top employers 11,603 = 34.03% of 34,100 city employees.)

## Caveat on headcount coverage

The City only publishes employee counts for these ~10 largest employers (plus the 5 donut-hole employers). **For the other ~7,250 businesses in the license roster, there is no free public per-business headcount.** Per-business employee counts at that depth exist only in paid commercial databases (Data Axle / InfoGroup, Dun & Bradstreet, ZoomInfo), and even those are estimates.
