Eyecare pharmaceutical company Harrow Health is expanding its Nashville corporate headquarters in a $3 million investment that is slated to bring 147 new jobs to the city.
Harrow announced the move Wednesday morning at its Burton Hills office, with local and state officials attending the event.

Founded in San Diego in 2012, Harrow relocated its corporate headquarters to Nashville in 2019 and has since expanded its footprint, including an analytical chemistry lab.
The announcement comes as Harrow stock recently hit a high mark, fueled by a healthy quarterly report and robust sales of the company’s eyecare products (read here).
Harrow CEO Mark Baum said that Harrow is “flourishing,” growing from approximately 140 employees in 2019 to about 175 today, and “$50 million or so in revenue,” a number he said could quadruple by year’s end.
“Harrow’s Nashville expansion will not only improve our service to eyecare professionals throughout North America but also solidifies our dedication to the community that we are honored and thankful to call our home,” Baum said.
Stuart McWhorter, Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development commissioner, attended the announcement event but did not note any incentives the department might be offering Harrow.
According to the state, since 2020 TNECD has supported 38 economic development projects in Davidson County, which has resulted in nearly 14,000 job commitments and more than $1.7 billion in capital investments.
