As Trévo’s product sales and network marketing figures continue to trend upward, the company itself is also moving up – literally.
Trévo has officially outgrown the south Oklahoma City office it has occupied since 2010, and is heading east down Interstate 44 to Valliance Bank Tower, where it will call the entire 18th floor home.
“Obviously this building holds a special place in the hearts of the people who started with Trévo here, but we are thrilled about the move,” Trévo CEO Mark Stevens said. “As our operations have expanded, so has our corporate staff, and we simply outgrew the walls at our current location.”
Located at 1601 Northwest Expressway, Valliance Bank tower is the tallest building in Oklahoma City’s Northwest Business District. With 22 floors offering a 360-degree view of the city, the tower is the most prominent landmark in the area.
