SARASOTA — Total Quality Logistics, a Cincinnati-based freight brokerage firm, plans to create 100 jobs in downtown Sarasota.

The company will open its Sarasota office, at 1800 Second St., June 6, according to a statement. It will have a founding team of six employees and at least four people will be hired in the first hiring class prior to opening.

TQL's Sarasota office will be its seventh in Florida and comes with a $600,000 capital investment, the company adds in the statement. The 100 jobs are expected to be created by 2020.

The expansion, the release adds, was a result of partnerships with Enterprise Florida, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, Sarasota County, the Economic Development Corp. of Sarasota County and the city of Sarasota.

Total Quality Logistics opened its first Florida location in 2010 and employs nearly 450 people statewide. The firm had $2.2 billion in sales in 2015.
