HULBERT, OK – As part of tremendous growth in revenue over the past 12 months, Cherokee Nation Enterprises (CNE) will continue to relocate some corporate offices to its Catoosa gaming facility while expanding others at the Hulbert office complex.

“We will continue to add staff to deal with our growing business,” said David Stewart, President and CEO of CNE. “Right now we have people either working in hallways or two to three people working in a space. We just need more space.”

To accommodate the growth, CNE moved several executive offices that deal primarily with gaming to the Catoosa gaming facility, which is in the process of a $60 million expansion. Administrative functions such as accounting, purchasing and information systems will remain in Hulbert, as will CNE’s retail division.

“As CNE continues to grow, we expect those divisions to grow as well,” said Stewart. “This move allows room for that to happen in Hulbert.”

CNE employs more than 950 people in northeastern Oklahoma and operates gaming facilities in Roland, West Siloam Springs, Catoosa and Fort Gibson as well as convenience stores, smoke shops, a gift shop and a golf course.

CNE’s new offices in Catoosa are located at 1102-B N. 193rd E. Avenue. Correspondence should be mailed to P.O. Box 515, Catoosa, OK 74015.
